A Sick Kid on the Couch and a New President
Posted on | November 5, 2008 |
The Little One was sent home from school yesterday with a fever - so we spent the night watching the Sound of Music, rather than any of the election news. This was probably in our best interest, considering that it kept the anxiety at bay so we could wake up this morning to the wonderful news. I’ve never had the outcome of a political race bring tears of joy to my eyes, but it certainly happened this morning. I am filled with hope that some change may come to this country, but as Tim Wise wrote on Racialicious this morning, there is still a lot of work to do, and as citizens, we are responsible for being the leaders of that work - while Obama follows.
On another note, the Gui Zhi Jia Ge Gen Tang that my son had been drinking all night finally resulted in some sweating this morning, and a big change in his mood and energy level. (I think a little Ge Gen Tang would have been better, but I couldn’t get my hands on that, dammit). He’s still a little sick, and so we’re hanging out with some more movies today. I had to miss a couple of classes, but I am so happy to have some time to hang out with him, and to take care of him - since those times are so few and far between with the stress of school.
