And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is the coughing still bothering him little?

He was still coughing last night and after I left for work this morning (when they were both still sleeping) DH noticed that his breathing was a little labored. But moodwise he's been totally upbeat and cheerful - it never would have occured to me to take him to the doctor because he hasn't been "acting sick" at all. I guess it's a good thing DH is more paranoid than I am.

Punishingly Intricate

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Great at least that he's not suffering. Boo on him being asthmatic at all, though.

Trust my rage

it never would have occured to me to take him to the doctor because he hasn't been "acting sick" at all.

Me, too.

I felt terrible after Ellie was hospitalized for 10 days with RSV/salmonella and I'd been watching her but kept dismissing it as "just a cold; what can the doctor do anyway?" Made me feel like a total shit mother.

Also, I took her on an all day two-ferry trip in the Outer Banks when she had her first cold because I thought "it's just a cold." Until we were stuck on crappy ferry for hours with a crying baby who was unable to nurse.

I think I've learned my lesson but it's hard to recalibrate for what requires a doctor.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

OK. Questionnaire emailed to boss. I talked with the Assoc. Director this morning, and it seems like I'm not the only one with a certain amount of adjustment/communication issues, which is reassuring, if nothing else.

Sigh. I'm starting to get the sense that I need to find a day job that isn't an office job. Not necessarily now, but when I can. Because I'm good at this, but even under the best of circumstances it makes me unhappy. How I'm to do that while still meeting my financial responsibilities I don't even begin to know. My counselor thinks I need to find out if anyone would pay me to research, because the fire in my eye when I talk about researching is nearly as bright as when I talk about writing.

I specifically told him not to inherit those genes when he was in utero, too. But do they ever listen? No.

Oh, that must have been so terrifying for you!

Poor D! Asthma sucks. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Hah! I did the same with CJ, and yet he had asthma problems when he was wee. We shared a nebulizer, such wonderful mother/son bonding. Though he has appeared to have grown out of it...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Dear D -

You are so totally grounded, I don't even know what.

Love,
Auntie Empress

You know, that’s really tempting to revert to 12 years old.

and in person there's much more of a 'OMG, her ass is enormous!!!'

No, it’s luscious and amazing.

He sounds like a very interesting guy. You should totally go for it. If I was into women, I’d be into you. Sometimes I think my life would be easier if I were. I know so MANY amazing bi/lesbian women. But then, the question would be if they were into me . . .
