Suspended Animation

Yesterday was Calfgrit6’s birthday; he’s now Calfgrit7. His party, with his friends, will be today, but last night we let him open his gift from Cowgrit and me, and then we went to Chili’s for dinner (his choice). We also went to Cold Stone Creamery for dessert (his choice).

I started feeling a little weird as evening came on, and by 6:00, I was definitely out of sorts. I didn’t feel particularly ill, but just “not right.”

Calfgrit7’s birthday gift from us was a Lego Knights chess set. He had been wanting it for a couple months, and he was disappointed to not get it at Christmas. So he was ecstatic to get it for his birthday. After dinner and dessert, we sat down on the den floor and played a game of chess.

Right after the game, I needed to lay down for just a few minutes. I crawled up from the floor onto the sofa and . . . that’s the last I remember until this morning. I woke up still wearing my clothes from yesterday. Cowgrit knew I wasn’t feeling well, so she just left me to recuperate.

During bath time, Calfgrit7 slipped in the tub and hit his head. Cowgrit dealt with it (his head is fine now), and I never woke up. I was completely unconscious from a little after 6:00 last night till this morning. I don’t feel bad, now, and I should feel better and more normal after a shower. I’ve got to get out of these clothes I’ve been in for literally 24 hours.
