snotty boy

[flea]

The Dillo had a rough night last night, with coughing and snot, and did achieve a decent fever. mr. flea and I took it in shifts from about 1 am on as he rolled about feeling sorry for himself and rubbing his nose on us. Now mr. flea is home with him - and he's actually in a tolerable mood - and I am trying to get through a day of niggly little things at work. Very tired.

I guess this ick is going around - I received a very lengthy email from one of my online professors (greenchick knows the one) detailing the course of his recent flu, including temperatures he registered, the rupture of his eardrums, etc. All of which is like, whoa, oversharing, dude! Also, no excuse for not putting any assignment up for this week, since if you had bothered to plan the entire semester in advance you wouldn't be having this problem.

I miss my snotty-nosed little dude. He's a talk explosion lately, and so sweet, even if he kept slapping me in the face at 6:30 am. (He was angry at being sick, and has the usual 19 month old issues with expressing emotions as he has them...)

The oversharing professor just made me laugh and laugh, which in turn made me cough, which in turn made me wonder if I could use that as an excuse for not turning in my homework for the week -- but wait! it's already done! Darnit, if only I'd used the Professor Useless school of time management, I could've saved myself minutes of precious coding time. (I also could've used less depression and more laughing at his ass last semester, but it wasn't the time.)

I hope your boy is feeling better soon. I'm (maybe superstitiously) assuming that everyone in the world has the very same ick, and if so, it's no fun at all.
