I'm sick with something that makes my throat, nose, and eyes feel like they've been scoured by sandpaper ( Read more... )

It has been warm and sunny here all week. That combined with more evening light has helped my mood improve greatly. I just spent about three and a half hours in the front yard with the kids under the shade tree and it felt great. Warm but not hot, breezy but not windy. Just lovely. The crows seemed to be enjoying it as well.

Up and around, trying to figure out what to do with the day outside of the obvious (nursing, diapering, cooking, and cleaning). I'd like to get outside and do *something*. My body hurts as I've done something weird to my lower back, left foot, and left hip. ::sigh::

Went to the Friends of the Library sale last night and scored some great old ( Read more... )

We are up and starting on a slooooow Sunday. S. and I are still rather sick. Poor S. has beens sick since Monday with a bad cold...I've had the same thing for the past few days. Ugh. I don't want to do anything today except rest. S. is tired of being in the house but, well, he's a sick little guy. His cough is starting to not sound good ( Read more... )

S. is sick with some sinus thing and I was up with him until 4:30 this morning. Thankfully he finally slept and stayed asleep until 11:30. He cannot breathe when he is lying down so he doesn't want to sleep. Poor guy ( Read more... )

Finishing Chocolate Tasting prep. today. Ran to Joann's while S. was at school to get a purple ribbon to lace the back of my black velvet corset-like skirt I am wearing as part of a costume for one of our pieces tomorrow night. Still need to wrangle all my costume parts and get them organized, as well as my makeup. Joann's had Halloween ( Read more... )

ptor is on his way home from yet another job interview. Here's hoping for the best.

S. had a bit of a cold earlier in the week (he has it the "snufflies") and now I have a sore throat and sinus stuff. Bleah. I took a nap and don't really feel any better. He's still asleep (three hours already). He was a tired guy.

The chocolate tasting is on ( Read more... )

--I am trying not to lose my shit re: the swine flu. It is scary and having a child makes it extra-scary. I am a touch germ-phobic to begin with and this is not helping.

--I am increasingly annoyed with people too damned stupid or unskilled to do their jobs properly. Last week ptor received a reply from A VERY LARGE COMPANY he'd applied to. They ( Read more... )

We are all still sick. I took S. to the doctor today and his ears are completely full of fluid again. They have not been clear since sometime prior to February. Urgh. We are seeing an audiologist in a few weeks as well as the doctor to see how badly his hearing is being impacted and whether or not we are getting any sort of drainage going. If ( Read more... )

I just got home from spending four hours plus at the zoo with S. It was a beautiful day and I so glad we spent it outside. We had a good time and he walked the whole trip today--no stroller. He somewhat surprised me by eating the raw red onions on his bean burger before he ate the burger, but he is funny like that. We rode the train and he rode ( Read more... )
