I've been a little sick recently. Tall Girl says it's the "Band Plague," and I blame her for it, because she's in the band. Band Plague is just an icky, sniffly sickness that happens every year. One person in band gets sick, and then they get someone else sick, and then their whole section gets sick, and the whole band gets sick, and then everyone's roommates get sick. Katie and Short Girl didn't get sick, BUT I DID!
I'm so sniffly that Katie told me I could come to work with her so she could take care of me. (Really, I don't think I'm that sick, but Katie
worries a lot, and I don't feel like doing anything, so I let her bring me to work.) She didn't even make me put on real clothes! I got to wear my new unicorn jammies!
But, as it turns out, there's not much to do in the Chanticleer office...and Katie wouldn't even play with me because she had to "work." So I found some other things to do...
I climbed a tree! (Katie wasn't very happy with me for that. She said I'm not very good at being sick, and I told her that I was feeling better, and she didn't believe me. Sometimes she's such a mom.....)
So then I climbed on some old newspapers! Bears like to climb things, you know! (They're much lower to the ground, and Katie was more okay with that, but she still said she wished I would take it easy...)
It's really, really, REALLY cold in the Chanticleer office, but, thankfully, Katie is always prepared, and she let me borrow her Inside Out blanket! I was so warm and happy! (And Katie was happy, too, because it meant that I had to sit still for once.)
But then I got hot, so I took a nap on some newspapers. I was starting to feel stuffy and generally sickish again, so I figured it was a good idea.
Not too much later, Katie woke me up!! She said it was "time for class" and that I had to come with her! Needless to say, I was not a happy bear. In fact, you could say I was a grumpy bear. And I know Grumpy Bear. He's a distant cousin, and he's not very nice. No one likes it when I act like Grumpy Bear.
But I didn't want to stay in the cold office by myself, so I went with Katie to class. It was her Internet Production class (the class she has to write my blog for!), so I didn't really understand anything that was being said, but I did get to sit in a spinny chair, so that by itself was worth waking up from my nap for. And I got to meet all of Katie's friends in that class. Two of the other editors--Mr. Assistant and Mr. Sports--are in that class, so we all walked down the hall together. And I got to meet Katie's teacher, Ms. Communication. She's very nice and fun...but also very loud. I was still a little sleepy when I came into her class, but I was really awake when I left!
Katie did some work (including working on this blog!), and then it was finally time to get dinner and go home. It was a long day of being bored and sick, and I've decided that I'm never going to be sick again, because it's no fun! So if any of you guys know how not to be sick, I could really use that advice. Thanks, friends!

(Katie's note: Not long after this blog was published, I also got sick. Thanks a lot, Trash Bear!!)
