My eldest is home sick with a fever…

Yesterday was the blessed first day back to school of the new year and my poor little Lemon came home sick at the end of the day with a bit of a fever. She’s now curled up asleep after spending the night sweating through her sheets at nearly 104 degrees! So far today she has spent most of her time coiled in blankets, watching cartoons, and drinking watered down juice to keep her spirits up. She’s been a really good sport about it all. Glad it hasn’t brought any vomiting, or upset tummy along with it, at least at this point, it has not. My youngest is trying her damnedest to not have a nap, but I actually had some of my day job responsibilities to attend to today, if only for a couple of hours. The best part of working from home, is that these sorts of occurrences don’t throw a huge wrench into my day to day plans. I’m pretty fluid with how I can and do conduct my day to day business. If it was real bad, I’d just do the bulk of my work at night after the girls had gone to bed. Provided they stayed there, and didn’t require an emergency trip to the ER, or walk in clinic. Then all best are off, and I’d be figuring things out on the fly. Both a plus and a minus to working for yourself.

Oh yeah, I checked in on my Word Doc for my short story, looks like it’s all there. I definitely want to make it a bit longer. Not sure if that means making each adventure it’s own self contained “thing”, or making each one a short 2 page spread in one singular book. I guess because I want to illustrate it myself, I’ll make it one book. No reason to have five unfinished projects on the back burner, just mocking me, knowing that they are there.

Oh yeah, go donate to Australia, that shits on fire yo. Got Damn. Greta Thunberg and all the rest of those climate researchers and activists have been warning us, over and over, and it seems as those we don’t really heed the call to action. Plant more trees, go meatless once a week, use reusable bags when shopping, recycle, walk or bike more, turn shit off that doesn’t need to be on. Do what you can.
