Life around the cottage, the house, the Toronto Maple Leafs, life's curiosities and anything else that crosses my fancy.

Being Sick at the Cottage
Quinton took his first ride, swim of the season. After walking back and forth at the water's edge Quinton was coaxed on to the board and soon learned to paddle around. He now likes to stay in the water until very pruney.
A new thrill added to dipping your feet into the lake. Splashing water around so that the dogs jump and snap at the flying water.
Lincoln enjoys biting the splashing water. Shelby started out biting the water then slowly went for the source of the splashing ... the feet. That game soon ended as she was circling like a shark for the opportunity to take somebody’s foot.
All this fun and activity, sunshine and water was going on and I was deathly ill. Well, I had a stomach ache but it was bad enough that I had to call in sick for two days. The group home gang was suffering from the stomach flu also so when I returned to work I was dealing with the very thing that laid me low. I think what was the most annoying is the long torturous walk to the outhouse. I feel the need to describe all the gurgles of my illness but I will decline at this time. I can't remember the last time I was sick while up north but I do not want to repeat it any time soon. I will be leaving ginger candies up there and a bottle of Pepto.
