Am I Not Merciful?!
At 4:00 today, my vacation weekend officially begins. (Or earlier, if I can passive-aggressively talk PhD Boss into working from home today and make it seem like his idea. Yes, I am that good.)
Going up to Door Co. with Billi to stay a posh hotel, swoon over the cherry blossoms, and shop all the new inventory at our favorite boutiques and galleries. Yes, AGAIN. It just doesn't get old for me, people! I don't know why! It's probably my inability to form short-term memories...
So Billi called me on Monday. She always asks if I'm at work -- despite me being on 40-hours-per-week for quite some time now -- and then I say Yes, and then she talks for ten minutes anyway. I don't know why she even asks. She's just toying with me.
B: I'm on my way to the doctor.
PW: Oh, my God! Who's hurt?
B: I have a sore throat.
PW: Oh, thank God.
B: Hey!
PW: It's not one of the kids!
B: I think it's strep.
PW: WHAT?!
B: I've had it twice before, and this is what it feels like.
PW: Are you sure it's not H1N1?
B: It's not H1N1!
PW: Oh, my God, I HUGGED you yesterday! You were in my HOME! Touching my THINGS!
B: Shut up.
She's very cranky when she's sick.
Anyhoo, she's been on antibiotics for 48 hours now, so she's fine. She's FINE, I tell you! We are NOT cancelling our vacation! If I have to go to all the shops by myself and check back on her at the hotel room occassionally to make sure she hasn't swallowed her tongue, then that's what I'm doing. She's going.
I am not staying home just because she doesn't practice good hygiene in a house full of filthy rugrats.
