So much for trying to post every day until the new year. I got some kind of stomach unpleasantness yesterday, soldiered through for a while, then lost my lunch and collapsed. Gillian was an incredible trooper, looking after Elliot while I was prostrate. She even got him a bowl of sorbet and fed it to him so he wouldn't make a mess.
rt_hon_rackman took on childcare when he got home, and then lost four hours of sleep to computer problems and getting Gillian back to bed when she woke up.
I felt better today, but I've had to be careful what I eat, and too much standing up is uncomfortable. I suspect that tomorrow I will be almost back to fighting trim, if the children will let us sleep. That's a pretty big "if," these days.
