Good week this week. I've finished uni for the year (results this week, another unit down). I enjoy my studies for the most part, and this unit was especially useful; but it makes for a lot of time pressure on top of work and looking after Ryan. Thursday was my first day off both work and study since July, so I cooked up some spinach and ricotta cannelloni (I usually do it as a lasagne to save time, but I was feeling adventurous) and some caramelised onion and brie tarts (both recipes in the Buffista cookbook). Wallybee was especially taken with the cannelloni, which is good because onion and tomato can sometimes give her some stomach trouble. We took the tarts to a pre-Christmas lunch at a friend's place on Saturday, where they were a big hit.
No study means we've been playing Race for the Galaxy (a rather brilliant card game) each evening. Wallybee's taken two close victories the last couple of nights. Beats the hell out of econometrics.
Ryan just keeps getting better and better. Latest developments: He has no less than six new teeth coming through, including his first molars. He's showing an active interest in animals (latest thrilling encounter: friend's cat at the lunch on Saturday). I'm very proud. I rather suspect he's developing an ego too (alert Emmett!), judging by some of the fusses he kicks up when nappy changes interrupt his vitally important playtime.
So, yeah. Good week.
Billytea! What a lovely update.
Y'all. I am so screwed. The itching woke me up. Now it's all around my mouth and on my lips, and my left eyelid. Debating urgent care today versus doctor tomorrow.
Urgent care, now, smonster.
bt, I'm glad things are going so well for you. I'm rather imagining Ryan's ego development to be as cute as everything else he has done. Although, possibly more cute to bystanders than to parents, who might feel some responsibility for moral development as well as physical development. Hope the teething isn't too miserable.
I'm going to page my regular doc in about half an hour, see what she says. I'm pretty damn miserable. Not that steroids will do a whole lot. I think I'll put some oatmeal in a sock and dab.
OMG BEST CLINIC EVAH. The doc on call is going to see me at 11 am. She's not even my regular doctor!!! Halle-freaking-lujah.
Oh, good. I was gonna yell at your to get yer ass to urgent care now, when p.i. gets near the eyes, or mucous membranes.
Ah, it's a bright and sunny day here...and we got more snow than expected, and it's 10, with a wind chill of -20. WONDERFUL.
ETA: Although, upon reading the news, I can't complain about our measly 4". The Metrodome roof collasped? Jesus.
smonster, I hope your doctor gives you something that helps.
My brother in North Minneapolis got 17 inches of snow.
Anyone hear from Andi and Daniel? I've been hoping he made it home okay.
Nebber mind.
Saw that Andi was posting.
Haven't had coffee yet.
Brayne ded.
