stress = weight loss for me as well. Of course, that's been counteracted by age = weight gain. Oh well.

like Pigpen's dirt cloud, I attract things.

me too, Bev. I was noting earlier today that I love a messier, busier aesthetic. All around me I see these clean, modern homes with NOTHING in the rooms. Maybe a couch, an end table, and two magazines. That's it. And I boggle at how they do it.

Ha. Dh loves the very clean aesthetic. I just laugh and say , where would we put our stuff?

I keep thinking that all it'd take is a bigger place. And no money to fill it up.

From what I can see, it requires a lot of storage space and excellent organizational skills. I think msbelle and Allyson could pull it off easily. Me NSM.

I had shabu shabu for dinner!! LOVE. A friend was watching N so we could go to the hospital and see G (seriously) and she said, "go have dinner. somewhere where you can't take Noah." HA! boiling water? raw meat and veg you cook at your table? PERFECT.

G was mad today (they needed a urine sample, and I know how they get those.... I'd be mad too), but off her vent for most of the day, like normal. And the care facility had brought her food and her vent from there (which they've never done before). Neat?

So is G doing better, Kat?

Is she feeling better, Kat? And does she get to eat a lot these days?

She is fed a lot and eats nothing. I don't know if she's feeling better or not as she was SO VERY MAD about the catheter (do not blame her at all). She had blown one IV site in her hand, so she had a new one in her foot. If they have to go to her right hand, things are going to be Very Bad.

I haven't spoken to a doc at all so I have no idea what is going on, which is all par for the course. She's had a volunteer there every day to play with her and there are only 2 other kids in the PICU, with 2 nurses, 2 LVNs/CNAs, and one RT, so she is getting lots of attention.

Also, Seven small earthquakes since yesterdays. Interesting.
