sick day

The cat and the dog are sitting close sharing a sunbeam that is streaming through a high window. The cat is perched on a bare spot on the TV stand. The dog sitting next to that. Generally, they don't share space, but on a day where the thermometer has yet to break 0 degrees it seems appropriate that oddities like this will happen.
My daughter is home with strep throat. She's just hitting the 24 hour mark on antibiotics so I thought it best to keep her home. My activity to this point has consisted of folding multiple loads of laundry, helping my daughter pack for her upcoming visit to her dad's house, and half way cleaning the kitchen. The cat and dog distracted me from the last one. And that is my day to this point. A sick day although I am not sick.
