It was the stove, wasn't it?

Oh hai. Didn't uh see you there...:) lol! Yes, it was the stove, and all that furniture I can just make. I need a good sturdy twin bed. ;)

My lil girl is very sick... high fever, vomiting, lethargic, etc... and has been up crying since four a.m. despite being cuddled, rocked, kissed, loved on, and generally made much of. I'm not sure how to make it better. And to top it off, I found out today that my uncle Mervin died Tuesday... and no one thought to tell me about it, let alone that the funeral was yesterday. Because I would have liked to go and pay my last respects. G*ddamnit.

Alternate doses of baby tylenol and motrin, cool cloths on her head and neck, Pedialyte in her bottle. If she shows signs of dehydration, time to go to the doctor ASAP. Might not be a bad idea regardless.

So sorry about your uncle. Wonder why they didn't think to tell you?

Juni, I'm doing the Tylenol/motrin/cool clothes thing. I'll go pick up pedialyte. Is it ok to use the store brand?

And my parents didn't tell me because they pretty much refuse to talk to me unless it's to remind me to pay my student loan (which comes directly out of my paycheck) or to pull something like this. "Oh, by the way, your uncle Mervin died. I just got back from the funeral late last night."

Yes. Store-brand items can often be lower-quality knockoffs, but there's a solid baseline you can't go below with medications. Like maybe it won't taste as good as the brand-name stuff, but legally it will have all the medical ingredients it needs.

My tired lazy ass today. I have so much stuff to do. I want to go back to bed....oooh!

Who's got the good drugs ay? Cicero. Get up. Move soldier!!! Moooove iiiiit!

Writer's block. Writing smut should not be this difficult!!!

"Dear Penthouse,
I was sitting at my computer, trying to overcome the worst case of writer's block I've ever had. I was interrupted by the doorbell . . . . "

That would be a great first post for a thread. But I ain't gonna be the one to do it.

on the way home from picking the kids up I realised I'm exhausted.

The reason I came to this realisation is because I started crying when someone wouldn't let me in in heavy traffic on the highway.

What a sook. I think I'll go to bed early tonight.

Large list of errands to run today, managed to get the kids up and ready and out the door, everything was looking peachy--and then Minifob started projectile vomiting all over the car. No errands today then...

Mmmm. Peachy vomit. :vomitblu:

Lack of vacation is making me upset today. I am definitely "in the hole" for next year. I would be happy to take some time no-pay, but my employer frowns on that.
