Illness in the family

[lathany]

Last Friday, my cold still much in evidence, I started to feel sick. As the day went on, this feeling became stronger. By evening I was sitting on the bathroom floor next to the toilet feeling very sorry for myself. Actually throwing up was a real relief. By the following morning I was feeling much better and by lunchtime I was eating again. Sadly, the cold is still around.

Today, I'm cleaning sick off the lounge carpet. Yes, Beatrice - poor thing - has caught my bug. She was in tears when I got to her; partly because it was an upsetting experience and partly because she thought she'd done a Bad Thing. She's now tucked up in bed with Lion (he's Ryan's, but this isn't the time to say so!).

The weekend was a good one. Mostly because of lanfykins and verlaine who came over to play Bridge and put up with bateleur and I being dealt all the points (already mentioned here and here). There was also Butterscotch and Cherry - both fine things. And as for this week... it's got a Pancake Day! Plus it's the start of the Birthday Season.

Awwww. Poor Bea. That's so touching. I hope you were able to reassure her that you weren't cross and mess is excusable when feeling wobbly.

Poor you as well, hope you continue to get better and that Ryan and bateleur manage to stave off the dreaded lurgy.
