We still haven't had any snow thankfully and everyone and their dogs have been enjoying the dog park.  Yesterday as I sat on a bench, talking to a girlfriend on my phone, a random dog jumped up on the bench and sat on my lap.  She's wasn't a little dog, she was a golden retriever called Bella and she got some free pets.  

Jack spent the day with his mama yesterday and didn't seem himself when he came home.  Gracie didn't say anything to me.  I texted Gracie's mom and asked how the visit went.  She said it went well but Jack seemed a little off, tired and warm.  Sure enough he had a fever so he and I are both home today.  He's been sleeping off and on.  His temp has come down but he's grumpy and calling for Poppa over and over.  It's only 11am and we've been up since 4:30am.  I still have my jammies on but I did make a loaf of  bread.  

We've watched Gecko's Garage, Blippi and I forget what other kid's shows.  I've finished watching The O'Briens which was a nice Irish movie and now I'm watching The War On Grandpa because it's better than kid's shows.  

I may be bored but at least I'm not sick, poor guy.

  1. Oh poor Jack (and poor you). It's one thing after another at that age isn't it (we're seeing it with my little grandson now. He seems to pick up something every week. Still, it's either that or he'll catch it all in school later)!

  2. We all know little kids are germ magnets and they can get sick at the drop of a hat! It just seems exaggerated right now because of the Covid and any sniffle is suspicious!
    Here's hoping little Jack only has a bit of a cold and that you don't get it, too ... and ... that Boppy can make everyone feel better!

  3. It's so hard when the little ones are sick. They don't handle it well nor do the adults. The lack of sleep and worry are difficult too.

  4. Oh, Jane! She gets so confused!
    So sorry to hear that Jack is unwell. Nothing as sad as a sick child. I hope he recovers soon.

  5. From what you have said and in spite of losing her husband in such tragic circumstances, Gracie's mum may be another rock for Jack and someone who can take some of the pressure of you and The Big Guy with regard to Jack's welfare. I hope he feels better soon.

  6. The system must know something more than you and I, because Gracie being allowed visits after this incident is just blowing my mind. Sigh. Hope he recovers well and continues to heal.

  7. I hope Jack is feeling better. He's been through a lot as of late.

  8. Hope with Jack it's nothing serious, with the Pandemic every little thing gets me on high alert when the Kiddo gets sick now, even tho' she's vaxxed! So hard to watch a Child suffer with any kind of ailment tho', especially when they're really young.

  9. Do you think when Jack visits Gracie he worries that he's going back to living with her? If so, no wonder he's a little off when he returns.
