The silent treatment

& simple pleasures. 

I have laryngitis.  I get laryngitis more then the average person.  This time it's hanging on a good long time.  Took real team work to get thru my work day yesterday.  I'm alone in my office so I needed to rely on the kindness of the people in another department to make a few phone calls.  My bailiff pitched in with a few once he was in.  I sure wished I could text people but that hasn't seemed to have caught on in the working world.  Sure kept our court session short and sweet. 

I've been driving a friend to her physical therapy sessions once a week for the last month or so.  Well, today she asked for an extra little favor.  Her daughter had given birth to a baby boy this morning and she asked if we could take some time to visit.  You don't EVER have to ask me twice to visit a baby!  A 10 hour old baby, no less.  The baby's mom used to baby sit for my kids.... a lifetime ago it seems. 

Is there anything sweeter?  I kept back and tried to keep my germs to myself.  This little guy has 2 older school age brothers.  Probably I was the least of his worries!
