Martika Has a Burning Fever
martika has a burning fever
yet she still smiles when i read NEVER TEASE A WEASEL
no heat blasting
a/c not an option
now i just watch her sleep and pray that she will get better
i do not remember when i fell asleep
all of a sudden there is a tug on my shirt
she asks me sweetly and softly if she could have the last cinnamon biscuit and some orange juice
i take her temperature first and see that God has answered my prayers
i rejoice at the blessed assurance and thank Him for today being saturday
i ask martika how she is feeling today
she simply says 'hot. could you please turn on a fan or something?'
i shake my head and chuckle wondering if she is holding out on me for the sake of being spoiled a little bit more before monday
nevertheless, sunday i have some plans for miss martika
until then, i just play along and head to the kitchen to fulfill miss lady's request
