It’s been a string of fun days over here, let me tell you. Poor Aura came down with a hellish cold about 10 days ago and by this past weekend she was clutching her ear and sobbing right about, oh, say, three-point-five minutes after the doctor’s office shut down on Saturday evening. Apparently, begging and…
I’ve been feeling sick off and on for a couple of weeks now, and the lead-up to the holidays has been a lot more muted that I would have wanted. Aura and I still haven’t made the peppermint bark, I’m only a scary little percentage done with Christmas shopping, and the stuff on the kitchen…
The Best Argument Against the Common Cold You Will Ever Read 2:00 a.m. In throes of fever, realize I cannot sleep, no matter how much I toss and turn and groan intermittently to wake up Adam for pity that NEVER COMES. Go downstairs. 2:05 a.m. Commence to tossing and turning on couch, interspersed with fervent…
So, man alive was yesterday fun. It all started with Aura waking up with a sore throat (it was bad really bad could she have tea but only if we had the green tea that didn’t have caffeine and make sure it’s the one from the Japanese market because that one’s better than the Trader…
Well, well. You get a cold, close your eyes, and BAM! it’s two weeks since your last blog post. I’d blame the Sudafed, but we all know I’d leave Adam and possibly Aura in a heartbeat if someone offered me a lifetime supply. So, no vicious lies today. Just a brief update: 1. The Plague…
So! I came down with a slight cold this week! And guess what I suddenly remembered! !!! SUDAFED IS THE GREATEST CREATION EVER! Seriously, you guys. Have you had a Sudafed lately? The real stuff, with the actual pseudoephedrine? The thing is like a miracle drug. My appetite, normally a raging monster that can sense…
Ding dong! The cat is gone! Which old cat? The wicked cat! Ding dong! The wicked cat is gooooooooone…. I could just keep singing and singing. You know why? Because singing is what you do when you are ECSTATIC and SUPER HAPPY and OVERJOYED. Such as when you kick your first soccer goal or fall in love or…
Forgive me for being the world’s laziest blogger, then feel appropriately sorry for me, for I am sick. It could be worse, considering both Aura and my mother had the stomach flu this weekend. My symptoms are limited to occasional waves of nausea and body aches and a mild fever, leading me to believe that if you use two full…
I love Christmas. Or, if we’re being technical about it, I love the Christmas season. Christmas itself is like the sparkly royal icing on a really well-made sugar cookie. Or maybe it’s more like an extremely good piece of peppermint bark, since everyone knows deep in their heart that sugar cookies kind of suck. Now…
The doctor’s office really needs to get some child-size face masks. It takes a saintly child to agree to wear a mask that slips off her dripping nose over and over but completely blocks her vision if she pulls it up. Turns out if you loop the ear strings over the little ear at least twice,…
