Microorganisms...everywhere....it started for me Saturday when I was at Cub Scout leader training. Around lunch time I started thinking 'I can feel the cold taking root in my nasal cavity.' It's a bad one. Anyway, after the leader training there was a birthday party for a neighborhood kid at the McDonald's playplace. She's Missy's friend but Alex was invited too. There was, however, an 'incident' in which a pretend fight escalated, and ended with Alex fake karate kicking the kid and the kid pushing him down. I didn't see it but I was told Alex was trying to get away and the other kid went after him. Anyway, we removed him from the premises for a while and I took him for a little drive. Things were calmed down when we came back. Shortly after the party, Erika came over to babysit. Beth and I were not out long though, because I was feeling worse and worse as the night went on. We went to Goshen and did some shopping (including NyQuil and Kleenex), but then just came back. We had been going to do wings and trivia, but by the time dinnertime came, I didn't feel up to it. We got takeout and came home early. Today I've just been down. Missed church.
