For a whole hour. Geeky girl slept with me last night. She woke at 3:00 a.m. needing more medicine and some water. Then I couldn’t go back to sleep, worrying about her. I actually got up and looked up croup on the internet. It was reassuring just to know what the really bad symptoms were and that Geeky Girl didn’t have any of them. She was sleeping, breathing just fine. Finally I drifted off myself, not waking until 8:30 when Geeky Girl woke me up. I was so caught up in helping her get medicine, juice, and breakfast that I forgot to make coffee. As I was serving up breakfast, I realized that I hadn’t made coffee. Shocking, you just don’t know.

I might actually do some real housework today. Or not.
