When Sick, Don't Study.

Any plans I had for Alina's school this week went down the drain, perhaps to her delight. 

The poor child already had a cold when she came down with a fever and body aches on Wednesday. She was feverish yesterday and still achy, so she's been in bed these days. 

It was already going to be a shorter school week due to the holiday, but it wound up being a non-school week. I'm sure she's happy about that. 

The only thing that has been worrying her is that she won't be better in time for her birthday party -- one of the truly important things in life.

She only enjoys staying in bed when she doesn't have anything bothersome, which wasn't the case this time. At least she's drinking more liquids than usual and her appetite is returning. 

I put my laptop in her room yesterday for her to watch a video since she was feeling better. She watched "The Adventures of Robin Hood" and plans on watching "Aristocats" either today or tomorrow. 

Oh, yes, and she completed the memorization of Hebrews 11 right before she got sick.
