sick

Nose is spewing like a geyser, making it difficult to attend to the on-paper revisions (let alone come up with that elusive ending). I did bring a few chapters to the doctor's office today while waiting for son 2 to be seen. His tonsils are large, but the doctor doesn't think it's tonsillitis per se. He still gave us an antibiotic prescription. I waited a few days, but on day 3 we still have big tonsils, fever, and exhaustion. So we'll try the antibiotics.

In the meantime I'm washing daughter 1's slippers. I hope the glue holds on them. They did paper mache in kindergarten on Friday and the slippers got coated, so they washed them out in the sink and left them to dry on the radiator over the weekend. Well, someone broke into the kindergarten via the bathroom window, and the entire floor, drying slippers, toothbrushes, etc. are now all full of glass shards. My daughter says the police came while they were there and took fingerprints and everything. The kids weren't allowed on the playground today (probably so they could inspect it, since the window is to there). Supposedly a guitar was stolen. I'm trying to think what on earth is so valuable in a kindergarten. They have some computers, okay, but mostly it's, you know, used snowpants and alphabet magnets.
