sick of winter, sick in general

Germs abound at the 'Loojee household. A week ago Maymuna sneezed. That's it, I thought. Since then there have been fever, chills, vomit, endless coughing and streaming nose. And finally now, amoxicillin. Another ear infection for poor Maymuna, her second in 2 months. She's barely eaten in 2 days, and took 2 spontaneous naps yesterday on the couch, that's how sick she is.


She is looking a little perkier today. Well, she's upright which is a definite improvement. And she ate this morning and did not vomit, which is also good. That's what I said to Ozayr after breakfast, any non-vomit morning is a good morning. It's strange that I live my life by these kinds of standards, but there you go.

Today is No Rules Day at Utica Avenue. She needs to eat and rest, and she can do it whenever and wherever she'd like. Snack in the living room? Sure! Video? Sure! Cuddle up on the couch with a blanket... and here, take some juice with you... By the time Ozayr gets home from work I anticipate that we'll all still be in pyjamas. And today that's okay.
