Spent the day with my girl. A walk amongst the ugly, rain-soaked mills, a breakfast of rubbery eggs and overcooked sausage, an endoscopy.Now we're recovering at home together, with plenty of soft, mushy food and Zantac. Of course, she's having a bit of pain. "It'll hurt if I swallow . . . It'll hurt if I swallow . . . Mommy!" Only throat-spray isn't going to save her. Tylenol will have to do.
I offer to make my girl a smoked-turkey-and-swiss sandwich, complete with potato chips, and puree it all in the blender, but she politely declines. She'll stick with her lime green Jell-O, thank you very much.
The afternoon: All My Children, a game of Scrabble, reading the newspaper, a nap. And later, when it's time for dinner? Maybe some Creation Soup, Volume 2.
Who needs anything else when your girl brings this much excitement to your life?
