doc

the dreariness continues, the steady irritation, the near painless coughing. The doctor has diagnosed nothing serious, it is just unpleasant, it robs sleep and concentration.
The alarm clock ends what finally turned into an exhausted sleep with silly dreams, instantly forgotten.
It is too early yet, but take a warm shower to waken the body. The doctor needs blood again today, and so there will be no breakfast untill the sample has been taken.
What a nuisance.

The son is up, he has made his breakfast. He is sitting at the opposite end of the table with his eyes closed. He always has a glass of coke with his breakfast. He takes one bite from his toast, and then proceeds to fall back to sleep. He is much like the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland. He is not an early riser.


The cat has gone back to bed after a short spate of begging

and in half an hours time it will be time to go to the doctor.
