Dearest Bosom Buddy,

Poor Popo coughed and cried ALL NIGHT, and her fever is up again. She seems to be in quite a lot of pain (her back - I suppose it's from the coughing). She didn't even want me to read her stories or listen to lullabies. I doled out drugs and put her in a bath, then made her a bowl of porridge, which she ate hungrily, so that's about the only good news! Am now very late to work.

Before leaving, I instructed Cretinous Husband to make her some ramen noodles at lunchtime. Cretinous Husband protested "I don't know how to make those..."

I snapped "3 minutes in boiling water! Alternatively, put your glasses on and read the instructions on the packet!" Legged it out of the madhouse in a hostile daze.

I'm so shattered I think I shall have to schedule a breakdown this afternoon. Have to attend a long ballet meeting tonight, but after that will fall into bed and stay there all night and all day tomorrow (apart from getting Eldest Offpsring off to school at 8 am). Praise the Lord for days off work and a comfy bed!

Do you still wanna be my girlfriend? I still appear to be turning into a man.

Mr Exhausted and Cranky
