“You’ll never guess what I saw today while walking Lucy at the park. It was amazing!” I say this to my husband as I hand him two NyQuil’s while also trying to stay as physically far away from him as possible.
Jamie came down with a terrible bug, and honestly, I can’t afford to get sick right now, so playing nurse (not the fun, sexy kind) has been challenging. Thank God for Lysol wipes and the fact that we have a spare room where I can sleep so I don’t have to breathe in the contaminated air exiting his sickly lungs.
I know, I know, I sound so cold and callous. As a punishment for abandoning my husband in his time of need, a 90-pound German Shepherd has clambered atop me these past two nights and humps my head because the spare room is her room, and she is not good at sharing.
Win some, lose some.
It occurs to me that I probably shouldn’t be telling Jamie the story I am about to tell him because he is far too sick to appreciate it. He’s running a fever, his eyesight is going all wonky, he can’t stop hacking, and there is a nonstop mucus stream draining from his left nostril.
I soldier on.
