Yesterday I cancelled my meetings, left work early and went home and slept. I am still feeling terrible and really dragging. Francisco has this cold, too. It's so hard to parent--even at a very minimal level--with such a headache and exhaustion for so many days.
On the way home, I popped into my friend's office and asked for some chocolate to put in the boys' shoes, explaining the tradition. First, she gave me four times as much chocolate as I asked for. Second, she stopped at Walgreens and came over to our house with proper chocolate coins. Having my Hindu friend bend over backwards for my Catholic traditions is always so humbling and moving. She is just as giving as St. Nicholas.
