Glad surgeries went well, Suzi.

I wish my old contact at the Giants still worked there. I'd see if I could get an autographed ball or something for J.

Oh, Sophia - she probably actually is a plus sized model. .. based on craxy industry standards.

Oh yeah, I'm sure she's a "plus size" model. You have to remember it's the world where 0 is the standard size.

Talked to my sister. She got a call from our cousin. It's possible that the farm is worth more than we thought (as in, could actually sell for more). It's also possible that cousin might want to buy it. And cousin is telling us not to accept a lowball offer for sentimental reasons. Which is uber-great, and totally unexpected.

My sister thinks Mom has been watching out for us since she died, and giving things a little nudge in positive directions for us. This is just one more odd little event that makes me wonder if maybe she's right! (I can't really describe in a short post WHY this is odd, but believe me, it's odd.)

Glad that the surgery went well.

Speaking of rashy...Grace has a rash that started on her legs and left arm today. She'd scratched the hell out of it, as she usually does. Then it has blossomed into a full body rash, red wherever she can scratch. Where she can't reach, it's fine.

I meant to give her benadryl earlier, but I then forgot because it required putting her bolus extension on blah blah blah. K is worried that it's something I fed her (strawberries, beets, coconut milk, sheep's yogurt, chicken, brown rice and whey) but she's had this precise blend at least once before and a similar one 2 times before that.

I'm convinced it's a reaction to grass yesterday (at the park) and heat today (we went to the farmer's market where they strolled without the canopy on the stroller, then K took them to the playground. When she woke from her nap the rash got worse).

We did the Aveno oatmeal bath and that may have calmed it. Then I gave her some water and some benadryl. We've put her in long clothes and I trimmed her nails down.

If she looks this bad tomorrow, I'll have to take her to the ER or force our way into the pediatrician. Of course, I have a work obligation that I also have to be at.

The house is also a disaster zone.

I miss my mommy.

In other news, my poor mom is in Hawaii with my sis and nieces. She called on Wednesday, when she flew there, to tell me my dad was in the ICU in Jackson, Wyoming.... he's being discharged today and he wants to go back to camping in Grand Tetons because that's what his plans were. WTF is wrong with my family?

Boo rashes! It is that very under breast rash that drives me to leave Florida and come north in the summer. Like Grace I can't stand an itch and will scratch myself raw. pain is easier to deal with.

Yay for movers bringing home the stuff!

That sounds like encouraging news, Zen.

Past my bedtime and must work in the morning. I set the wireless to turn off at 1am. Of course I will be asleep then, but a part of me totally looks forward to the sound of my son expressing his disappointment when it shuts down. Hee.

I felt bad for you having to work all weekend, but now NSM.

No! Feel bad! I have a conference call at 9, and I'm back from Colin's. I've been online checking mail and problem wrangling since 8am, and all day yesterday. Colin just saved me from going postal. Him and the vodka and the strange people he knows.

Dear lord, kat. Does that at least mean he's doing well? Or is he just crazy motivated?

You have a conference call at 9PM on a Sunday?!? Please tell me you mean 9AM tomorrow.

I mean, heck, I have to be at the airport at some ungodly hour (6AM?) tomorrow, but at least I'm not working right now. Though really I SHOULD be, because I've got a ton of shit to be doing. And at some point I have to fire up the work computer ot figure out when my flight is in the morning...

Instead, I'm looking online wasting time daydreaming about where my airline miles could take me and what I could do with them. I want to visit Fay...and my brother (in Prague)...and I need to go to South America (but don't wanna do it alone...). But I also want to STAY HOME. Sigh.

ita, is it a conference call with people in China or something?
