I’ve had a head cold since Sunday. Lauren has been nursing me back to health by leaving me alone. I stayed home from school on Monday thinking that I would do that at the start of being sick and see if that got me well sooner. I felt better on Tuesday, so I went to school. Then I felt worse on Wednesday, so I went to school anyway just to throw the cold for a loop. I’m feeling a lot better now.
My voice was really shot on Wednesday, so I hooked a lapel mic up to the speakers in my classroom and I didn’t have to make hardly any sound at all. But it was kind of annoying when I coughed.
Anyway, that’s not what I wanted to tell you about. On Tuesday, after I got home from school I took some medicine and went to bed. When Lauren got home she yelled at me because I was suppose to take the medicine with food. Then she brought me chili in bed.
She’s a keeper.
To me, the most fun-looking part of that is eating out of a giant mixing bowl. I like eating cereal like that, except then I serve myself too large of a portion.
As the one nice thing I have done for him during this illness, I am thrilled he wanted to document it. Don’t get sick around me. “Dammit, Jim, I’m a preschool teacher, not a doctor!” Wait, that’s backwards…
Poor Lloyd.
Cold in bed.
Chili in bed.
I had that, too.
That was haiku-like, Mom!
