They say that the best laid plans of men and mice go awry. For the easter weekend, Dad and mom had some grand plans - they figured they would be able to buy a car, decorate the house, meet up all their friends and catch up on sleep over the next 4 days.
Guess what happened ? This morning I woke up with boils all over me - I have contracted chicken pox. I had some boils yesterday and mom was already suspecting that it was not just the heat.For once she was right. It just means that we are quarantined for the next 4 days at home and possibly more depending on how quickly I recover.
Dad was panicking because he wasnt sure if he had got it in his childhood. When he called home to confirm, no one could say with certainty. I think he is bracing himself to the possibility of getting infected too. I will be able to see him do his own version of Itchy and Scratchy show.
So dad and mom will now be able to catch up on their reading, their sleep and general household chores. It looks like its going to be a brilliant weather over the weekend - sorry guys, better luck next time.
