The Time Suck of Sick
Day that Nate's fever started: Saturday.
Day it is now: Friday.
Days Nate has gone to school this week: zero.
(Fever stopped Thursday AM but they have to be fever free for 24 hours to go to school.)
Number of trips to After Hours Clinic: 1.
Number of phone calls to pedi: 3.
Doses of alternating Tylenol and motrin: way too many.
Movies watched: way too many. I want to throw the TV out the window.
Hours spent sleeping upright in a chair with a hot and sweaty toddler: way too many.
Hours I went to work at my actual office this week: (embarrassingly) 6. My boss is amazing. Also, I am very behind.
Rooms in my house cleaned: zero (unless you count the thousands of germ-eradicating swipes of door knobs and remotes).
Grocery store trips: zero. Looks like we are eating out all weekend!!
Final diagnosis: something viral, not the flu.... Nobody knows! Fever virus!
Total time suck: one week. What did I miss?!?
