Stir crazy
There was an event at the Emperor's school one evening last week for which they created art and sang songs about civil rights. I had a moment of equal parts pride and embarrassment when he proudly showed me his poster stating "I have a dream that terrorism will end", with a tiny addendum of "and that Donald Trump won't win the election". I can remember being younger than him in grade school, a lone voice in the classroom staunchly insisting that Ronald Reagan was a bad president because he was gutting education funding and making other ridiculous decisions. Little pitchers have big ears, unto the next generation. (Also amusing: his Valentine's Day card to me, with the poem "Roses are red, violets are blue, this project was forced, but I still love you!" That's my little goober man.)
However, I'm pretty darned sure that a snot-nosed somebody infected my offspring at the school function, as he's been laid low with a nasty cold/fever/cough over the three-day weekend and through today. I took Monday off and have been working from home the past couple of days with little to no success, as it's very hard to watch boring training videos when somebody is playing Super Smash Bros in the background and coughing up his gloopy lungs.
I have however leveled up like a woman obsessed with the Avengers Academy app; I am so close to welcoming Captain America to the roster! Of course, then I'll have to give up the entertaining animated loop of him doing jumping jacks, one-armed push-ups, and posing with some serious Blue Steel.
I don't do well with open-ended assignments and a distracting environment; I am actually looking forward to going back to the office and getting SOMETHING done. Maybe my executive function caught the cold, leaving me with compromised willpower? *sigh*

That is DELIGHTFUL.
I hope he's on the mend, for both of your sakes.

He had better be on the mend, because barring him pulling an Exorcist projectile event in the morning, he is going back to school.
