umsorry about that



Um....sorry about that

Last night I could feel that I was beginning to get worse, just a bit

more sick. Roland had taken the day off and I knew he would take today

too. Surely he was getting a little better.

I started with the rational approach, "I know you are sick. I mean we

both are, and I am wondering if you could do car pool in the morning

since you don't do it that much."

He laughed! He actually laughed and said something like "no way." It

was like the funniest thing he had heard for a while. Then he was

sorry because he had hurt my feelings, but not sorry enough to say he

would drive. I pouted.

I woke up this morning and I ached. All over. I threw myself at his

feet and begged, "Please, please do the car pool. Please let me go

back to bed, please, please." Okay, I didn't say exactly that, but I

wasn't much more dignified. He said he would and I expressed how

deeply grateful I was.

Then he and Brian left.

Five minutes later M2's kid came to the door to ask what was taking

Brian so long.
