called in sick to work tonight. haven't done that for awhile. it was a last minute decsion. i would have left out from the attic house at about six in order to drop tricky off and get to work by seven. jaqx came by just before 5 to say wassup, and tricky, who'd been napping for only about 45 minutes awoke soon after. he was pretty much inconsolable, screaming and crying. he did want to nurse, and then i was able to get him to eat maybe a fifth of a jar of banana blueberry baby food and most of a maple teething buscuit, but he was still very edgy. his teeth are hurting him a lot and he woke up with a cold yesterday morning that was worse today. as soon as i saw his running nose yesterday i started taking the get well soon viatamins sothat i wouldn't catch it and tricky could get the immune boosters through my breastmilk. took three yesterday and three today, hopefully there will be some improvement tomorrow. this vitamins are magic.
also, my nipples were very raw tonight. that hasn't happened for months, but tricky nurse A LOT today because he's feeling so crappy, and this was after he'd been nursing for most of a two hour stint, which is really uncommon. i was feeling a little scared because it felt like the beginning of thrush. to be safe, i took a couple acidopholous caplets. if it is thrush warning signs, that should nip it in the bud.
in the next 24 hours, my rent check and my paycheck will most likely clear. if my rent check clears before my paycheck i am royally screwed and will likely eat a fuck ton of $$ in overdraft fees. this is stressful for me.
i should go throw the diapers in the dryer, but i'm being very lazy. i have watched more cummulative hours of dawson's creek today that i care to calculate. i'm at least halfway through the second season. this has been convenient, actually, sinse tricky has wanted to be held and rocked and nursed so much today.
i'm working on an essay for submission, and it's slow. i've been working on it for a couple of months, and it's just not happening. if i don't finish it soon i wont be able to submit it, but thinking about it makes me feel really tired.
everything makesme feel really tired, it seems.
