ugggggggghhhh
I offered to pick up Dave from the airport last night. His plane was due around 7:45, I thought it would be easy to get Andy to sleep during a drive. I'd been exhausted since about 3pm, so I was hoping to get to bed early.
And he did sleep, but he woke up as soon as I took him out of the car seat. And screamed and screamed and screamed for the next four hours. We tried teethers, Tylenol, mesh feeder with frozen blueberries, puffins, bouncing...nothing was getting him to calm down long enough to go to sleep. The cats started whining because of all the noise. Margie got to the point where she was biting our ankles, so one of us was trying to calm him and the other one was shooing her away.
He finally got to sleep at 12:30. Dave fell asleep on the floor of the nursery.
So today I feel like hell. I'm tired, my upper back hurts, and I have a sharp pain in the metatarsals of my right foot when I walk. Which is bad because I'm on eye drop duty this morning. Our study animals are getting eye drops once an hour, and I have to go downstairs to the animal facility to do it.
Weekend plans: SLEEP, as much as I can. I have to be at work all day Saturday to do the eye drops.
