Unexpected

I had yesterday all planned. I spent the morning cleaning the house so that the evening could be spent doing dinner with an online friend and his family. All went well, until about 20 minutes after their arrival when Patches threw up.

The guests decided to stay and risk exposure. I quarantined Patches to his bedroom where he slept when not actually vomiting. The dinner and visiting seemed to go fairly well. I know I had fun, I just wish my attention had been a little less split. I also hope that their family failed to take the bug home with them. It frustrates me to provide a vector for unpleasant bugs.

Patches was sick all night. I slept on a mat near his bed. By morning I wasn’t feeling well either. Fortunately in my case some extra sleep in my own bed and a light lunch have remedied most of that.

In other news: Zathura is a good movie for kids. My kids were enthralled and have just embarked on a second veiwing. Maybe I’ll go sneak and have a bath while they’re busy.

  1. Don’t know what the incubation period might be, but no signs of sickness here so far. We had fun. I hope Patches is feeling happier soon. And tomorrow the kids are out of school. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to drop everything. When there is paying work available, I gotta work.

  3. Oh, eww, I have been there. It’s hard when the littles are sick, particularly when there are Plans. I do hope Patches feels better.

    As for Zathura… oh, yeah. I was extremely skeptical when my fella rented it for our son, but he loved it so much we found a used copy to keep! The boy can now often been seen walking around the house saying “Emergencity” in a robot-like voice (I know, I know, the robot in the movie says “Emergency” but BlueEyes is three, and can’t be convinced of that). It’s pretty cute, I must say.
