A night of disease
Coughing of a small child
A morning of exhaustion
Fringed by thunderstorms
I have no urge
Or energy to use
No appetite or drive
So today I will be shadow
A ghost of the community
Reading and liking
Sticking only to some haunts
A scheduled post at noon
Maybe a poem in another realm
To prove I am alive
I will respond if spoken to
Yet I may very well be short
Tomorrow I will wander out
My mind better than today
So for now I’m turning in
To watch you from afar
Translation– I’ll be here and on the CSB, but I will only be responding after handling a few morning posts and doing the daily promo. Scheduled a post at noon and I’m too ‘meh’ to reschedule it.

I was up all night with a sick toddler, so I’m just numb today. Brain is barely able to function.

Been there done that. But I have no tee shirts left. They took them all when they moved out! LOL

I’d probably end up eating the t-shirt anyway. It’s one of those mornings.

Toddler goes back to school, but he has a bad cough. Could go either way. I think I need to drag myself to the weekend.

Well if it’s any consolation, I shall be dragging myself along with you!

He’s fine and happy. I’m praying I land on the carpeting and not the wooden floor.

Sick children are never fun – not for parents or the kids. Hope you can get some rest

He’s better now since it was a cough. He would cough himself awake and start playing. At one point I walked in to find his socks on his hands and his diaper on his head while he danced under the ceiling fan. So, I was entertained at least. Rest may be tomorrow with him going back to school. Just hope they don’t send him home.
