“Good evening, Professor. Unfortunately, I have come down with a fever and am currently bedridden…”
I just like that she used the word bedridden. 🙂
(I don’t like that she’s sick, obviously!)
This particular student is from New Zealand and now I’m curious whether that word is still in more common usage there…?
Also, I have a mild cold and am pivoting my classes to Zoom today — I wrote to the students: “Sorry I’m so illness-prone, it’s very annoying to me too.”
And one of them responded: “I hope you feel better!! You don’t have to apologize for being sick, as a fellow sickly Victorian child it’s totally understandable.”
So I guess that’s a theme today…
Kavi had a Halloween party and sleepover yesterday, and a dozen of her friends have taken over the kitchen to make breakfast, so I have given over the first floor to their chaos and exiled myself to the library (since Kevin is still asleep and I don’t want to disturb him), and am currently languishing on the library sofa. Not quite like this photo, though.
