Rowan Tree and Red Thread

As readers of my wife's LJ will know, our daughter Rowan has chicken pox. Yesterday the spots started appearing and we've resigned ourselves to the itching, the time off from playschool and the chaos it makes of our schedules for the next week or more. Luckily for her, Rowan seems to be mostly unconcerned by the whole thing, and apart from an occasional scratch she's pretty much ignoring the problem altogether.

My boss is understanding so when I have to take time off this week, it's not going to cause a problem, I'm glad to say.

Of course, now I itch.

All over.

I hate auto-suggestion.
