All stuffed up. CAN'T EVEN TASTE THE CHOCOLATE!!! You'd think, reasons to live would plummet towards the negatives, BUT somehow life feels good. If it wasn't for the popping side in my ears every time I try to swallow, I'd ignore this thing and pretend I wasn't worried that Lionel turned out to have strep throat. I am still pretending, but taking measures, which involve kerosine, soap and lots of citrus and garlic.
Personally, I blame... no, not myself for pushing it and hovering over the sick boy ... Fully rested, pumped up on vitamins and confident, I was essentially contagion-proof. But then came Tim's graduation. Funny how freezing your bum off at a hockey rink for four hours will make one feel like their immune system just suffered a full Mission-Impossible style breach...
Oh yeah, Tim's all caught up and graduated. Woop woop! Best brother in the world (you can quote me on that)

A lovely thunderstorm outside kept the kids distracted during the usual Saturday afternoon artclasses. There was a lot of quivering and open-mouthed gaping in the direction of the window. Lots of "oh i am so scared!" "well i'm not scared at all" "well i'm not scared either." Cuties.
