The day after...

Dear Nicky,

So, we were all tired today, and it turns out Junie has an ear infection, a particularly insidious one where there's actually a zitlike bulb on her eardrum. Holy cow! She was fussing all morning, so Mom took her to the docs and now she's on antibiotics and already feeling better. You're showing more and more desire to walk. Today we switch to (or is it from?) daylight saving time. That's such an antiquated concept. You ate quite well today. Mom and I had some Chinese food for dinner. Now I'm going to bed.

Love,
Dad
