Twas a dark and...rainy day?

Here I am. Sitting in front of a laptop in front of a television in front of a window where I can see raindrops dripping and splashing. There was thunder earlier, but it stopped. There was sun earlier...way earlier, but it's hidden behind the puffs of dark, menacing clouds. I have a sick little child at home. She had surgery to remove four bloody wisdom teeth, and she's on vicodin and ibuprofen now, so she's a little woozy...and delirious. Laying on the couch, she's sweating, then complaining of chills, feverish, then cold as ice. I guess this is where I am required to show my instinctive skills as a medical professional and ease her pain...future doctor that I am. This is just one of those days that calls for cup after cup of hot cocoa and bowls of hot, thick soups. And long novels full of love and sunshine, and marathon after marathon of movies on Lifetime, movies whose name you can't remember when you wake up the next day. Did I mention soup? Alisha craves some, so I'm going to have to mosey on down to the kitchen and figure out how to make some out of frozen vegetables and half a can of stock...this is going to be interesting.
