Coloring Clarissa and Blissed-out Basil

Over the weekend Clarissa had a double-ear infection that was so painful for her that she was writhing in pain and did not sleep well (neither did Lily or I). Lily got her on an antibiotic quickly, and Clarissa was doing way better today, but we still kept her home from school just in case.

Clarissa was very well behaved today and spent a lot of time coloring. She’s so cute!

Work has been particularly stressful for me lately, so it is really nice to have a fluffball to pet when I am stressed. It really calms me down, and I get the feeling that Basil likes it too…..
