I thought I was feeling better, then I ate a cookie with the kids at snack time this morning, and, well, now I'm back home. Fortunately, I didn't lose said cookie until I got home.

But! I had plans! Oh, well. My homework needs doing. So, I'm drinking tea and thinking about how to best attack this mess.

Happy Belated Birthday, Cashmere!

Omnis I'd like to apologize for the way I treated you in my dream this morning. I know you were only trying to help me get to work on time and it's not your fault Lord Voldemort started chasing me.

Is it still a serial post if I'm at a completely different computer?

OK so you know how if something swells it becomes swollen? Is it acceptable to say as it swoll it became swollen? The rebar in the bridge swoll? I heard this on NPR today.

One more and then I'm putting my nose to the grindstone.

Here's a secret for the people who don't go to PostSecret any more because it's too depressing.

Woke up to a migraine and I have too much homework. Cannot brane. Please send reinforcements.

so, I try to keep my paranoid off the board, but

Ellie woke up this morning with a fever and has vomitted twice. She also has seemed sort of lethargic and has been sleeping a lot. Her fever was 101.6 an hour ago although now it's 100.8. I wouldn't normally worry at this stage, but there's a dengue outbreak here.

Of course, joe left for the States today.

I would say "swelled". It doesn't sound right now that I am listening to myself say it, but it's what I'd say.

Head~ma, Suzi.

Eep, Stephanie! I certainly hope Ellie gets better pronto.

She's sick. It's scary. I don't think its paranoid for you to fear something bad happening.

If you want to take her to the doctor you should.
