Remember...
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Alex stayed home from school today with a slight case of tonsilitis, which tonight is full-blown, and at lunchtime I got a call from the high school asking me to bring some Panadol there for Carly. Tonight she is sick too.
Usually we're a healthy lot here, but just lately it's one thing after another. Carly has had a cold on and off for months, it seems. The last time it hung around for three weeks, and the Doctor was reluctant to give her anything. Same with Alex. I took him to the Doctor with me last night (when I went to get the results for the xray I had of my hand), and he said to give him Panadol three times a day and in two or three days he'll be fine. Fingers crossed he's right!
The good new last night was there was no fracture in my hand. I knew that, though the fingers are still sore and if I happen to knock the knuckle: yowie. It hurts. Still, those socks need scrubbing and life goes on.
I have less than a year now to give up smoking, I promised the kids I'd give up before I turn 50. The count-down has begun.
