Sick Day

The Artist is abed with a fever a bit higher than I can let go without medicine. I had hopes that letting her sleep yesterday instead of having school would do the trick, but today she is worse.

The Engineer and I can still get some work done, but his "full day" only takes up about 75 minutes broken into five 15-minute sessions. So I'll get caught up on my reading today and I'll get to do some house cleaning.

The Engineer lives up to his name. Here he is revisiting a favorite of his two-year-old pastimes - watching the piano hammers strike the strings.The cat likes talk radio too -- who knew? Here it is early afternoon and I have a local station on loudly enough that I can hear the conversation in the kitchen some 25 feet away. I've been known to put the radio under my pillow to fall asleep to a late night baseball ball game. But I have not skipped on the pillow altogether as Slinky does here.
