I’ve got some gentle illness, a combination of a deep cough, general malaise, and slight headache. Here’s my recipe for this particular sick day:

Pink sweatpants
Pink t-shirt
Wool socks
Unbrushed hair
High School Musical 2, Season 2 of Buffy, and Zoo
Tomato soup and toast
Dirty sheets

Andreas will be home soon, and I will stay quietly out of his way. He’s had more than enough to deal with this week, having spent the last couple days in Spokane with his step-mother, who just had some super intense cancer surgery. While he was there, Dre got the news from his mom that some close family friends drowned recently. Thankfully, me and my pink sweatpants and gentle illness don’t even register on the “bad news” scale by comparison, and so we will just watch High School Musical 2 quietly and try to not be a bother and be happy that we are going to be just fine.
