Two sick days, two snow days, and a holiday in the last week and a half, so I had to take George to the office yesterday. Steve stayed home with Della. They went to the rec center to watch the ice skaters and to the pho shop to eat pho. 

Today, a half-inch dusting of snow and school was delayed two hours. With George in tow, Steve took Della to her two-year check-up. He asked the doctor to check for an ear infection because she’s been really grumpy. No ear infection, “But we’ve been diagnosing a lot of cases of cabin fever,” she said.
