Parents have Returned

Finally! Mom and Dad are back after their conference/vacation in Florida. They stepped through the door at 10 this morning, and I was so glad to see them! Naturally, there were greetings and hugs and how-have-you-beens, but suddenly Mom stopped talking a blue streak and looked at me, confused. She wondered aloud why I kept sniffling. I didn't want to worry her, so I said I'd been a little sick (which I was, but Mom panics easily).

Dad wasn't as worried. He was more interested whether I'd survived on Aunt Tsofiya's cooking. She knew he was teasing, though, so she merely flicked her dishcloth at him.

Sammy? He's back to his old self now that I'm better. (well, congestion, but does that count?) This morning he crept up to the bed and uncovered my feet while I was asleep. I woke up soon after and identified the culprit, but was still too run-down to chase him. Needless to say, Aunt scolded him soundly. She said I needed my "healing rest". I'm not exactly sure what that is and I'm not sure if I was even taking it...

I'm not sure about Cecily, and I guess I'll have to text her on NutChat later to find out how she's doing. She hasn't answered recently, but I guess she's been as miserable (and stuffed-up) as me, and therefore not up to answering. Oh, well, the family's calling me for a movie, so I have to go. See you!
