Well, it finally hit me. It was either the flu or food poisoning but it hit and it hit bad. Luckily my mom left Milwaukee at 5 am to come here and take care of Mia all day. I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't. She came armed with Gatorade, crackers and lectures. I couldn't stomach any of it, but it was great to have her. She really is amazing. Here is a picture of her when she was modeling as a youthful nymph back in the 50s.
Pretty lady, huh? She's still quite fetching. And she fetched quite a bit for both me and Mia today. Y'know, I really like being a single mom most of the time, but days like this I could really use a partner. As soon as it appeared that I could keep down solids, she hightailed it out of here. Don't blame her. It's a tough job running after Miss Mia who is walking like crazy now. And mercilessly stalking the kitty cats.
I still feel weak and peaked. Sleep beckons and hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. At least so I can fend off some of the lectures ...
