KRIS IS HERE! KRIS IS HERE! KRIS IS HERE!!! :D
Well, she's not here, exactly, yet. But she's only three hours away! And she's coming here on Sunday! And we're going to have twenty-four whole hours to hang out and do the things best friends do when they can actually see each other.
This makes me very, very happy. My bestest friend in the whole wide world is taking time of from work and school back in Missouri to come see me. Life is good. :D
I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is, I've started writing fiction again, which also makes me happy. The bad news is that my flash of brilliant inspiration (I'm so humble!) has lead me to write, of all things... Harry Potter fan fiction. *hangs head in shame* It's not even about anyone I like. It's about Snape, who is, IMO, one of the most disagreeable characters in the entire series.
Now that I've admitted my shame, I'm going to go hide under a rock ... and write my story, wait for Kris, and be very happy.
On the baby health front, Mikey's recovering from his virus like a champ. He's tearing the house apart like nothing ever happened and was even tolerant of his follow-up with the doctor on Thursday morning. (Aside: On our way out of the doctor's office, the assistants gave him a lollipop for being so good. When did doctors start giving candy to sick kids?! I will not be a sugar-Nazi... I will not be a sugar-Nazi...)
He woke from his nap today with a patchy rash over parts of his torso. Though it started to fade, it was still there when he went to bed. It looks to me like an allergic reaction to something, but I can't imagine what. He ate nothing today that he hasn't eaten a hundred times before, and when I tested the Vicks Vapo Steam humidifier additive on a patch of his skin, he didn't react to that. Enough of the rash was on skin normally covered by a diaper that I doubt he's developed an allergy to our detergent or fabric softener. So I washed all his sheets and blankets and cleaned out his vaporizer with soap. He's not running a fever and seems to be having no more than a topical reaction to whatever it is.
We'll see where it goes from here. If it's not gone within 24 hours, I'll be calling his doctor.
