I woke up this morning and my cold was in full bloom. I went to bed at 9:30 pm last night hoping to sleep it off so I could go to the CNE with the family and friends today, no such luck. I see the doctor at 2:00pm. I phoned wife, as I was supposed to take the girls and meet our friends downtown. I told her I felt terrible but I would take the girls to meet our friends and if I wasn't feeling any better would come home. Wife had a dentist appointment which took her two months to get and she didn't want to cancel it, which is why I was going to take the kids and she'd meet us all later. Her parting response to my statement that I'd take the girls and if not feeling better return home was "whatever". I phoned our friend and told her the sitch and she suggested I just put the girls on the train and she'd meet them downtown. I said the girls had never traveled downtown alone and i felt it best it I bring them. So I did and returned home. I gave the girls a little extra money to spend and I'm sure they'll have a great time. I'm sorry I'm going to miss it, I was looking forward to it. So I guess my day today will be to rest and suck back cough medicine, it hurts when I cough. Btw, here's a funny story, last night D13 baked some cookies which apparently didn't turn out as she had anticipated. When I woke up this morning there was a big note on the cookie container reading "BEWARE: These cookies may cause chipping or breakage of teeth" Yes, D13 is always thinking of her family! Time to lie down.
