Quick Quip #2

5 a.m. Monday morning - Lily-bug crawls into bed with us. Immediately I can feel the sauna-like temperatures emanating from her body.
7 a.m. Thermometer confirms assumption. Fever of 102.3.
11 a.m. Following throat swab and nose swab, the bug is diagnosed with the flu (So not happy that I decided to have her undergo the pain of the flu vaccine shot back in October). Nurse practitioner tells us what symptoms to expect over the next few days, including "congestion and runny nose." Passing the nurse's station on the way out, I inform Lily that we need to go pick up her medicine.

"Medicine so my nose doesn't run out?"

We departed, a station full of smiling nurses behind us.
