Quiet Time

Tired and miserable describes everybody's mood today, and certainly the blog editor's. We are all suffering to varying degrees from the same head cold. Medicine to alleviate the symptoms is out of the question because we don't know what to ask for or how to get it here where all meds, prescription and otherwise, are locked up behind the counter of the pharmacy and available on request only. While we could ask, the effort to talk to the pharmacists is more than any of us is willing to put in. With low energy levels, we stayed home today, although we managed to venture out late afternoon for a trip to the neighborhood playground. The girls enjoyed the the swingsets and slide and both Olivia and Meredith conquered their fear of the eight-foot rock climbing wall and learned to clamber up, over and back down the other side like little monkeys.
After that it was a walk down the Thames, return home and early to bed for everyone.
