Sickness Follows

You would think that since I am surrounded by sick children all day, I would be more accustomed to dealing with sick people. I don't think my experience helps when it comes to someone who lives in your house though. I feel so helpless and not to mention the inconvenience. The routine is all screwed up. I know that's harsh and probably insensitive, but it's true. It's even worse when the sick person doesn't want to be bothered. Then you're just left to tip-toe around the house and fend for yourself. I would even compare it to the electricity going out. As soon as the electricity goes out, you suddenly have absolutely nothing to do. You cannot think of one single thing to do that does not involve electricity. Even though in your normal day-to-day life you do a hundred things that don't rely on it. As soon as a someone in your house becomes sick, you suddenly want to do all of the things that make a lot of noise and would irritate this person. The mind is a terrible thing sometimes. As soon as something is denied to us, we want it all the more. I don't really know where I was going with this.
I'm leaving early tomorrow morning and I'm so excited. I think my mind is already on the road though!
