Head cold and heartsick

Still sick today. I got some work done, but there was napping. More napping than work. At least I’m lucky enough to have a great business partner. Howard kept telling me to stop working and go lie down.

Then in the afternoon Link and I had a conversation in which he told me he feels stupid. He feels like everyone else learns things in great big leaps and all he can do is take little steps. He feels like he is stupid in spelling and reading. He feels like the other kids do not like him because of all this. My heart aches for his judgment of himself, but I can’t deny his observations. It does not help that he is coming down with the same cold that knocked me, Howard, and Kiki flat. We have a 5 day weekend coming. I have to give some thought about what must be done after that. I have to be able to do something to help Link.
