Why make plans?
Nov. 5th, 2009 11:45 amLea has been running a fever for the last two days.
High fever.
Scary-high fever.
It came out of nowhere, within half an hour she went from happy and healthy to cranky and ... well, insanely hot. 2p.m. nothing, 2:30 p.m. 40,3.
And of course the timing was as crappy as it could have been with my mum out cold with lumbago (no, I didn't pass it on. I am sure it's not spreading.) and the kindergarten's St. Martin procession to be organised. I somehow got convinced to join the parents' council that is responsible for everything from horse and costume to cocoa, mulled wine and, of course, the famous "Weckmann" (not really a Gingerbread man, much softer, made from the same dough as sweet rolls and holding a little pipe).
It all worked out somehow in the end and today, miraculously, the fever is gone. Just like that.
I'll keep her home for the rest of the week anyway, since kindergarten is not the best place to recover. When I called today to excuse her a couple of kids were staying home because of mumps, even more because of stomach flu.
I'll just have to see, if going to Düsseldorf tomorrow to hear Ju read from her novel is doable. I certainly won't plan anything anymore, since too much planning on my part seems to trigger all sorts of disaster. ;-)
Stay healthy out there!
