Day Four Hundred and Eighty Four

Miss Pancake    

I do not have such a nice long story today.

Because I was so busy.

Zita and I went to our farm but it was icy again so we only walked on the no ice places and the roads too.

Our farmers clean the roads as soon as it snows. That is good. 

But before lunchtime Mister Clifford took my friend Craig to the little hospital.

I could not tell him such a long story today.

Because he was not here.

So I had to wait until he came all the way back home before I could tell him all about my adventures.

And he could tell me all about his adventures in the little hospital. 

Professor Jill came here to help me look out my watching window.

After a while Mister Clifford brought Zita home but not Craig. 

Zita told me that when she was leaving that hospital Kathy was there just in case she needed help. 

My goodness.

That is why all those Mahoneys are our all the time friends.

Those are the very best kind of friends. 

So Clifford took Zita and I to the farm again, so we would not worry way too much.

And when Clifford and Zita went back to that hospital I went to mind Bruna and Lee in their house. Ha.

When Zita came and brought me home, Craig was already right in the big comfy bed.

So I got up right away. And he was very happy to see Nurse Pancake. 

So I got right in tight so I could get his bottom toasty warm.

Then I told him all my adventures.

Because Craig and Zita and Clifford were so busy in the morning they forgot to tell Professor Jill about my lunchtime. 

And I nearly starved all away.

But when Zita got home she remembered and I had my nice afternoon nap.

Because I was all full up again.

Then Zita and I found Niamh’s aeroplane right on Zita’s telephone. 

So I knew she would be home tonight too. Ha. 

And after I told him all about my second trip to our farm. 

Because it was all cold again the snow was not nice jumping snow, it was nasty falling down ice. 

So we just went on the sidewalk and the roads again so we did not fall down even one time.

I asked Craig about that hospital’s food. 

And Craig said it was not the nasty food hospital, because it was a little hospital and did not give you food. 

Because it was a hospital only for little operations. 

Emmet was in the nasty food hospital lots of times.

So Zita brought him food from our own kitchen so he did not starve. My friend Poppy told me.

Sometimes when I am fast asleep in my own little house I hear her in my dreams. 

That is how I know all those things before me. 

Then Craig told me they had a machine that lifted him up to the very high hospital bed. 

And this time it did not squish his leg way way too much.

Because the little hospital nurses did not make any mistakes. That was good.

But he was still very sore all over and had even more holes in his arms. My goodness.

And he was very tired.

When I had my operations I was very tired too. So Craig and I had a together nap. 

Then my friend Niamh got home and we were all in the big bedroom and talked about her hotel trip. 

Until Craig was too tired to listen.

I stayed there to be his very best nurse Pancake. 

And after he was fast fast asleep I minded Zita and Niamh in the living room.

Then we all went to fast asleep too.
