Almost Sick

One of the downsides of being a parent is that your kid plays with other kids and brings back many, many colds and flu’s that you wouldn’t ordinarily have been infected with otherwise. I hate being sick. I guess I don’t know anyone who likes being sick. That’d be quite strange… Anyway, yesterday I was coming down with something. All the signs were there. G had a cough and sniffly nose. I felt like I’d been run over by a lorry, but this morning I felt great again. Now in the middle of the day I feel a bit run-down again. Quite a sneaky virus we have here.

I REALLY don’t want to get sick because my son’s Birthday Party is tomorrow and I have to bake a cake tonight. It’s going to be a chocolate cake and NE has bought some little cake sweeties that G will be putting on it. Once he’s iced it that is. He loves doing things like icing cakes. He’s also put in a special party-day breakfast request. A fried egg sandwich. I asked him if he wanted anything else on it like sausage or bacon and he said no, that the fried egg sandwich was lovely by itself. I must say that I agree.

So, I’ve been chugging the orange juice and getting plenty of rest. Wish me health for tomorrow!
