Dear Baby,
Where have I been for the past 10 days? Oh, just dealing with cold-ma-geddon up in this house. You and I have been sick sick sick and it has been shit shit shit.
I think that I started it (via your Zaidy M aka patient zero) so I’m really sorry because it has been fucking brutal. At the onset, I was totally out of commission for 2 full days with another 3 days of semi functionality. For 48 hours I could not do anything but drink tea and sleep.
I hope that you don’t have a ton of experience with adult fevers becauseguess what? They are horrible.
And of course, without fail as I recovered you spiralled down the cold ramp. You’ve now been dubbed Mrs. Booger Face for a grand total of 6 days. It’s cute but also super gross.
The good news is that you have been happy, funny and business as usual. The bad news is that your dads been on a temperature taking binge again. Kidding. The bad news is obviously that you are sick.
There is really no lesson to be had here. Just don’t get sick. It is so shit.
Love you.
