The wife is sick. She came down with something over the weekend, which is pretty close to the worst time to get sick. Just when she thought she was about to get two days to relax, her body decided that it needed a fever and body aches. Poor girl.
Me and the kid are now in nurse mode. Checking on mom, making sure she is comfortable, get her medication and lots of fluids. We even ordered ramen for her, which really wasn’t a sacrifice, as it sure did make everyone in the apartment happy!
As I sit on the couch writing, she’s in the bed sleeping, with an occasional cough coming from under the covers. The dog is up with her, curled at the foot of the bed. I am sure the dog thinks that this has been a wonderful couple of days; napping all the time!
I don’t think I’ll be getting much done this week, and that is fine. I like taking care of her. I like making my wife feel better. Giving comfort and making her laugh.
And I have a really good chicken noodle soup recipe that I can make as well.
