Three Things: The Sick Day Edition

I was up last night with a sick three-year-old. And while she’s feeling much better this morning, I think we’re going to be taking it nice and easy today. This week, let’s write about those days when we’re feeling under the weather; those days when there’s nothing to do but lounge in a horizontal position and somehow occupy ourselves.
