Yesterday - kids sick at home. I got to escape for a 2.5 mile birding walk. First of the season. Didn’t see much except for a few blackbirds, crows, red-tailed hawks, and most notably, a flock of beautiful eastern bluebirds. One of my faves.
Today - terribly sick with the flu or some GI bug. I spent most of my night in the bathroom and the rest of it comforting Holden who already had this GI bug. It’s now turned into an ear infection… and possibly strep? Brendan is taking him to the pediatrician as we speak. Please, whoever is listening, please let Derrick escape this without becoming febrile and let this be the last illness of winter for our household. Please. And thanks.
