This time it’s Robin. She’s sicker than hell, with symptoms similar to the flu that she had earlier in the year. She’s been running a fever of 102-103 since Saturday, plus she’s congested and has little appetite. There just doesn’t seem to be any end in sight. She’s on Zithromax just in case it’s bacterial, but that doesn’t seem to be helping much.
Luckily the kids and I are OK, but I’ve had to stay home most of the time to help Robin out, as she doesn’t have the energy for sustained exertion beyond about 15 minutes or so. After the kids are in bed, I have to hit work pretty hard, as we have hard deadlines coming up and I have plenty to do. So at least for a while there won’t be a whole lot in this space.
I’m currently reading Charles Stross’s Iron Sunrise, which is shaping up to be at least as good as Singularity Sky. More when I get a chance to finish and write a review.
