SICK DAY

Dear Gabe,

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well.  Yeah, its probably the flu since its going around camp after all the shots.  Just make sure you drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.  You've got to let yourself be sick before you can get well.  You have to get it out of your system, but its going to run its course in its own good time.  I'm a little under the weather myself, but its self induced.  I shouldn't have had that last rum and coke. 

It was such a beautiful day today, and even yesterday.  Its hard to believe we had a winter storm last week.  The Peak is still covered in white though.  Sooooo pretty.  I took Becca and Rocky fishing today.  I should have left them home, they had been fighting all morning.  They didn't have to go to school today and the plan was to spend a nice day together since tomorrow I would be out in the woods with the guys hunting.  I don't know what I'm going to do with those girls.  I can't even get them married off yet, they're too young!  Do I really have to put up with this until they become adults?  AGH!

Okay, so once again... drink lots of water.  And orange juice if you can get some.  If you start running a fever (are your eyes burning?) go to sick-call.  And don't smoke if you still are, that will only make it worse.

Take care son.  Miss you, love you.
