13-14NOV07 / 19:55 / LAPTOP

today is a two for one entry.
13NOV: the day started off promisingly, but the cough that my daughter still had was getting me concerned. we opted to keep her out of school and take her to the doctor. after a brief exam, we were told she had some chest congestion and the start of an ear infection. so with a scirpt for zithromax off we went to the CVS. they told us to come back in thirty minutes, so we went home, dropped off the car, and took out the jogging stroller. i got her wrapped up in a blanket and off we went to knock out some errands. not long after we started, she was knocked out, sound asleep.\we got to the CVS, picked up the medicine, and started back for home. all in all we were outside for an hour, with her sound asleep for most of the time.
the rest of the day went as usual for a Tuesday. took care of my math homework, the house, and kept my daughter occupied. we made dinner together for my wife, and after dinner we had some homemade spicy popcorn to enjoy while we watched videos. at about 02:00 i woke up to find the two of them passed out on the couch and me in the chair. after a bit of back and forth i got all of us into bed by 02:30. a day off can really knock you out.
14NOV: we decided to keep my daughter out of school again , just to play it safe. i don't want her to get worse, and i don't want other kids to catch her cold.
we had a lazy day together after my wife left for work, watching TV, eating breakfast, and playing around. i am glad i haven't grown up yet.
we had good all chicken soup for lunch, and then i set her up for her power nap. I got things done around the house. my colleague from Hamburg called, he was in Florida, heading back home via NYC. i told him i would meet him at JFK and hang with him till his flight left.
my daughter and i went on a quick shopping spree for dinner, chicken brats and potatoes, our favorite. everything came out perfect and just in time as my wife walked into the house. we all sat down together and enjoyed our meal. the dessert was strawberries and whipped cream.
so now i must go to the airport, hopefully we can get into the first class lounge while we wait for the flight. it is so much nice waiting with a "beverage" and snacks while sitting in a lounger.
