GC’s thoroughly sick with a cold and fever, compliments of his son, and I’m valiantly battling it off before it gets a stranglehold on me. So far I’ve just got a hint of a sore throat whenever I swallow, and a touch of a sore ear. But poor GC.
Last night we decided to make the most of being sick, so we bundled ourselves into bed early with flannel pajamas, his and hers thermometers, 3D glasses, and the children’s movie, Coraline, playing on the laptop. We fell asleep long before the middle of the movie.
When we awoke in the middle of the night, GC’s temperature was over a hundred. He took some aspirin and I took an antibiotic and then we listened to a podcast of an old-time radio thriller – The Whisperer – in which the Syndicate comes up with a diabolical scheme to get 200 high school students addicted to marijuana!
Speaking of addiction, there’s a brand new blog in town, and it’s offering us the unusual view of the streets of Ottawa through the eyes of a drug user. Please check out Ottawa From the Down Side Up

Thanks for the link, Zoom.

Take lots of Cold FX. It’s actually been clinically proven to fend off colds and/or help them run their course faster and more smoothly. I hope his fever has broken by now – over 100 in an adult is not good.
It was nice to see you walking again today Zoom. I hope the outing was a good experience.
