I have to admit it’s getting better…

Alternate Title:  My Family is Great

Even though I woke up fine enough, within a couple of hours, I just felt frazzled.  I’ve been sick, so I haven’t been getting the dishes done, which is making our fly problem worse.  The flies are driving me crazy, especially when we were almost through with them.  I was stuck in "I can’t get rid of the flies until the dishes are done.  I can’t get rid of the dishes until I feel better.  I’m not going to feel completely better (body and mind) until all the flies are gone.  I can’t wash the dishes because I’m sick.  And even if I was better, Tots won’t let me get more than a few in until he wants the attention back."

My darling sister, who is always and I mean ALWAYS there when I need her, enlisted the help of Dadoo, and the cavalry came to save me!  I took a long shower, which made me feel better.   Collectively, they took care of my dishes, swept my floor, played with Tots, cleaned around the bunny cage, got me orange juice and tissues, got rid of my garbage and recycling and most importantly, gave me peace of mind.  I can’t tell you how much better I felt, even just as soon as they got here.

So I’m not back at 100%, but I’m feeling 100% better than if they didn’t come.  (After they left, Pi told me he was working until midnight, instead of nine.  I can’t imagine how I would have felt if I told them they didn’t want to come!)

Later on, Mom let me take a quick nap on the couch.  I didn’t mean for her to, but I accidentally nodded off.  (By "accidentally", I mean I was curled up in a ball with my head on a really comfy pillow in a warm room and totally didn’t want to take a nap.)

Tots is already in bed, asleep early and easily, the best combination.  Now, I’m all by myself in the computer room, patiently waiting for my wonderful Pi to be home.  As long as his boss wasn’t late, he should be rolling in any minute now.

Dear Day,

You almost got me, until the cavalry came in.  You’re not as tough as you think you are.  I am going to forgive you, though, and enjoy the rest of you.

Sincerely,

Ducky
