On Sunday, Dad texted me to see if Todd and I could drive up to see him and mom in NYC this weekend. Todd couldn't come, but I said (somewhat jokingly) that I could if Dad lent me a few frequent flier miles. Done, I leave tomorrow.
Scheduling a trip invoked my unwanted talent of getting sick for vacation. The above has been my view for the past 3 days (a few more than that, truthfully): me, the Sick Blanket, and Downton.
As I recall, the original Sick Blanket was a wedding gift from my aunt to my parents. It's simply two sheets with a layer of batting in between--exactly warm enough for any occasion, soft, and only improved with age and use. Whenever one of the kids was sick, this was the blanket we wanted.
Mom, Caitlin, and Shelbey tied us our own Sick Blanket as a wedding gift, using fabric that looks nearly identical to the original. We use it constantly. Sick or not, it's the best blanket ever.

Well get better soon you poor thing! Snuggle the sick blanket for just a little bit longer and then make sure you will not need it for your trip! Have a great time!
