home.....

ok, so our eldest showed up at the bike shop yesterday morning, deathly sick and needing an appointment at the doctor......by midafternoon he was reportedly home on the couch, taking antibiotics, sipping broth, etc........strep is suspected, and though i understand the overuse of antibiotics, i am glad that the doctor went ahead and prescribed the miracle drug.......i stopped and bought popsicles.....my sick-day food of choice.....they do so soothe a sore throat.......thinking back to my own recent sick-day-off.....i recall the santuary that is one's own sofa.......a true haven when push comes to shove.......another sofa, in another house...somewhere off isn't the same.......
