I was sick today.

Yesterday it was the weekly library story time. I had fun as usual. In the evening, I went swimming. The pool water was so warm and nice. No surprise in Texas. If I was not bitten by a mosquito in the end, I would call it a perfect day.

After I took a bath, my throat started to feel weird. Therefore, I didn't give mom and dad a good night sleep. I woke up twice and my raspy voice caused their attention. Next morning, we were in doctor's office. She said I had croup, caused by virus. Then I got my prescription. And I also skipped my music class to avoid getting my classmates exposed. Guess what? Four out of six bodies were missed today for being sick. If democracy worked here, the missed would be the two little healthy ones.

My medicine really tasted bad, so I threw up every single bit of it. Technically, I am still a boy who never took medicine, which mom and dad were proud of. My 100.3 degree body temperature was right at the edge of being judged as a fever, so I escaped from having Tylenol as well.

All right, it is bed time again. Hope tomorrow I will be better. At least not sound like a barking seal.
