Cat scratch fever.
My dad got this when I was little. His hand swelled up to the size of a football. I was just old enough to learn how to cut my own food and I got to get extra practice cutting his for a while.

Went to sports bar! Did not kill anyone! Ate fish tacos. Ears still kinda ringing. Assholes who come into packed sports bar halfway through second period and don't seem to notice they're blocking your view of a play probably deserve some kind of dire punishment.
But hey, HAWKS WIN.
Ugh, I hate that the wind up to a vacation in our house is always massive anxiety. I've been stressed to the gills for days just because everyone else is stressed out, throwing tantrums, etc. And doing kooky things.
I hear you, Burrell.
We are halfway through our trip. We spent the AM of the day at the beach during low tide looking at cool stuff. Then the friends with whom we are staying had a BBQ tonight. Grace helped set up the sprinklers and had so much fun playing: [link]
It's so fun to see her run through water and enjoy it.
Cat scratch fever. Which is a real thing.
It is! Which can sometimes be a co-illness with Lyme disease, and then you get the fun of taking handfuls of antibiotics for months.
Pete is coming home from the Magic: the Gathering event in Vegas that he was at. As in, coming home tonight, didn't go to his signing slot today, because he was down with a migraine and food poisoning. He sounded utterly miserable on the phone when he called and told me he was coming home.
I saw the adorable pics on FB. I somehow lost my flikr account info. Duh!
So we are leaving on Mon, but it seems like every leg of this trip has gotten screwed up in some way. Not sure why. And somehow it's all my fault? oh well. I'm just hoping there are a few nice days tucked in here and there so that we come home happier than we left.
Ugh, that's a bummer, Jilli.
Where are you going, Burrwll? Any chance you are passing through HMB?
Poor Pete.
Jesus, migraine AND food poisoning? That sounds like much too much. Like misery overload.
