Tilex and EBay

In a large, white house covered with crimson dots from the berry eating birds, two boys and I are hidden away.  Two sick boys traded in a stomach virus for a sinus infection.  The oldest has been out of school for four days straight, and the youngest woke up with a fever of 101.  I can’t face another two hour wait in the doctor’s office, so I’m hoping that I can beg some drugs from the doctor over the phone.

Sickness has been here in one form or another for a month now, but the last week was particularly rough.  Bored out of my mind, I resorted to desperate measures.  I cleaned.  I ended the 20 day non-vacuuming streak, recycled old newspaper, and sorted out the digital pictures.  It’s so bad that I might end up cleaning the tub today. 

I am not sure what comes after the so-bored-I’m-cleaning phase.  It might be Internet shopping.
