Quarantine

Yes, that’s the sign they’re going to nail to the front of our door at any moment. Kyra’s been sick for three days now. Andrew succumbed last night and this morning can’t even watch TV because he can’t stand the sight of cartoon food, never mind the real thing.

So, we woke up at five this morning. Then the kids fell back asleep after about an hour. Andrew is still asleep. Miss B, industrious even in ill health, is drawing and coloring pictures, cutting paper and so on. It’s a good thing she can do this all day long. She is also learning Chinese. No, really. She is. She doesn’t take being sick lying down.

(Full disclosure: it’s a TV show ala Dora the Explorer, only instead of Spanish, it’s Chinese.)
