I am toying with the idea of a cleaning service myself. Maybe not very often, but just to get the place cleaned down to the core and then I can work from there.

Exactly. I have someone scheduled next week. It's my house elf pressie from mom for my birthday. Really, I just need the intense (floors, yech) stuff done and I can do upkeep.

No insomnia fairy, but rather, Grace's alarm woke us all up. She has a cold and she's not feeling grand. She was awake in her crib with her alarm beeping.

No fever though so we'll just keep on keeping on.

My veins are shattering like glass. I don't know if it is because I'm so poorly hydrated (marked nausea all day) but it is depressing.

Are you in the ER, ita?

Yep. Nurse has hit and blown four veins now. No one ever hits four veins. But, fuck, I need this nausea gone, not to mention the OTT headache. I've eaten maybe a piece of bread today. Bon bon and bob bob had to eat what I ordered for brunch because even one bite or sip was setting me off.

Sorry to hear about Grace. I hope she feels better soon.

Hey, he may have gotten a line. I wonder if it will support a litre of bolus…

Oh damn, ita. I'm so sorry.

Thanks. I'm so damned thirsty, but even water is uninteresting to me right now.

Nurse is administering the dilaudid wrongly, but at least the anti-nausea meds should be in my system soon.

These are sandburrs: [link] , never heard of making wine from them and have no plans to. They are a pain in every sense.

Ugh, ita. I hope the meds are in and working by now.

sandburrs look owie.

ita, I hope by now you less nauseated and that you have less pain.
