Unplanned Day Off
I had an unplanned day off today. Robert was feeling pretty crummy and he was running a bit of a fever. I took him to the doctor this morning. We didn’t come away with a solid diagnosis, but it looks like some sort of infection in his throat. We’ll give antibiotics a try and see what happens.
Frankly, I’m glad I got to take the day off. I felt pretty crummy myself all day, but without Robert’s illness, I probably would have gone to work anyway. I’m weird that way. Even though spending a day with a cranky kid isn’t the best way to recover, the warm fuzzies I get from playing dad make it worthwhile.
I’m not sure if Robert and I will go back to our normal routines tomorrow. Robert is obviously still tired and uncomfortable, and right now my eyeballs feel like they’re going to pop. Either way, I know I will have to plan to referee a soccer game or two tomorrow evening. There are lots of games in town tomorrow and not enough referees. Stepping up in those situations is what you do when your father is the referee assignor.
So anyway, hopefully I’ll manage to get a couple posts up at some point tomorrow. See you then!

This place is so hollow without you. Let me know next time you would like me to sub for you, and I can post some stuff. Like that LJS column, “I have issues...”.
As a father of young’n’s, I hope the little man is alright soon!

Sounds good to me. In fact, if you ever “have issues”, feel free to drop me a note. Maybe we can get you started as a regular guest poster.

Attaboy, Mr. Wilson!
Seriously, I’d love to try that sometime. I will drop you a line.
