I die, I die….!

No, really, I’m dying here…I
haven’t held my baby sister since Sunday or Monday.  It wouldn’t
be so bad if I were gone somewhere, but having to see her every day and
not kiss her is torture.  She’s always cutest when someone else is
holding her.  And we always want what we can’t have.




I thought I was getting over
this cold/virus/whatever thing, but I guess I overdid it.  My
symptoms still indicate contagious, so mother says, “No healthy, no
kissey.”  Or huggy.  The hardest thing is when Gracie
crawls up to me and then stands up and leans against my legs while she
reaches for me.  I’m alternating between lying in bed trying to
escape into a book and doing some sort of housework with all my might,
as if I’m trying to convince myself that I’m getting better.  At
least I haven’t cried myself to sleep yet.




I think I’ll go host another pity party…  Having to swallow nasty, healthy-looking vitamins is good for self-pity.
