Uncomplicated

It's been way too busy and it's taking it's toll. Poor Russell has been really sick since Tuesday after school. He's been down with a nasty bug and missed 3 days of school and a concert he was supposed to perform in. He hasn't been sick like that since probably the second grade. Saturday he had to take his SAT's and he was still sick but managed to get through them, but his coughing fits caused him to not be able to finish the essay with only 2 words left to go!!! I'm upset for him, although he's saying he's not too worried, since he can take them again, and he felt that, even though he didn't finish, he did well. By Saturday evening his fever returned and now he's down again. The Dr. says its a viral bronchitis, and he's seen a lot of it recently, but about all that you can do is let it run it's course. The biggest problem is that he has another concert on Monday night, a Youth Orchestra concert, the last for this year and they are depending on him to be there. I just hope he's better by then. So if anyone feels so inclined please send some healthy vibes Russell's way.

I like the composition for this photo.

And I hope he feels better by Monday. Nothing worse than being sick this time of year.

This looks nice, almost looks like you applied some sort of filter to this shot. Nice effect. Hope your son gets better soon.

It seems like every time I return to your site lately, I'm muttering to myself "wow, gorgeous!" Sorry to hear about your son. You've had your share of worry lately. Hope that he's on the mend soon.
