The War Against Bugs, and Other Random Things
Well...it's been an interesting week. lol We've spent most of it fighting off head lice. *sigh* The girls brought it home from school and the past week we've been treating, doing laundry, bagging stuff up, etc etc etc. The washer and dryer have gotten quite the workout this week.
I think we've finally turned a corner and are starting to get the upper hand. PRAISE GOD! I will say this has been a horrible chore. lol I never had them as a kid, so it was also completely overwhelming at first. But I took the girls to their physician and they were given a prescription-strength lice-killer that we treated them with. And today, after having them sleep with shower caps on to try to limit the spread of the things, there were *none* in daughter #1's cap, and just 2 or 3 in daughter #2's (she's had the worst of it, so just 2 or 3 is a minor miracle). So we're getting there, I do believe.
As far as I go...I'm still trying to fight off the remnants of being sick last time; what I posted last time was the beginning of a week's worth of being down sick with the flu. Currently I just have some leftover congestion in my head and chest, resulting in a stuffy nose and a slight cough that is *much* better than the coughing I started with. So that's also "getting there."
Writing has come in fits and spurts and I really need a braincell or two to cooperate with me. lol Currently I have some SGA Season 1 DVD's in the player to try to coax such cooperation from the grey matter. :)
I hope everybody's having a decent weekend; mine is likely to be fairly quiet with the exception of bug-fighting and a trip to the grocery store. ;)
And that's the way it is in my corner of the world.
