Throwing Little Thought Pebbles at Your Windshield Since 1996
Sorry I missed an entry yesterday, but I’m still very much down and out with this illness that I call “The Black Plague of Misery”. And it’s twice as hard to be sick when your kid is also sick. He hasn’t eaten a meal in 5 days…I had to fight with him this morning to eat a banana. Not cool.
Okay, off to curl up on the couch for a few hours.
Tis snowing. I wonder how much we’re going to get. I’m hoping for um, none, but because there is actual snow falling, I know I’m going to get more than none.
We’re playing Animal Crossing here today. Day two of the fever, actually. Poor kid missed his first swim lesson, he was devastated. I haven’t told him he’s probably going to miss a birthday party tomorrow too. That will be WORSE because he was going to get to be a pirate at the party. I’m actually bummed about that one. Poor kid…it’s an odd illness, mostly a fever. I keep wondering if it has something to do with his MMR vaccination from last week. But would it take a whole week to hit him?
Anyway, Animal Crossing…I had a question I was going to ask people who maybe have been playing for a while. Is there no way to get a fishing pole until Tom Nook has one available for sale? What about pears…how am I supposed to get Portia a pear? It’s obviously winter in “boston” but we have peaches. Do random trees sprout other fruit as a few days have passed?
That’s the problem…it’s a real-time game, but that means it can be a little slow. Like I really want them to deliver some more mail to me…but do they only do it once a day? *sigh*
I may have neglected to mention that Junior, the handsome young lad who was in the newspaper photo with me, woke up with a 102.3 fever this morning. I got it down but it did spike back up at one point. He seems better but he still hasn’t gone below 99.7-ish. I just hope he gets a good night’s sleep tonight, because I’d really like one myself.
The newspaper article neglected to include the URL for this website, so if any of you are visiting because you did the footwork necessary to look me up, I really do appreciate the effort!
Oh, and for those wondering, here’s a link to the book Random Family.
You can read the article at the Sentinel & Enterprise. And one of you gets a lucky quote! CT Karen, you’re famous!!!
Whew, thanks Matt, for making me look good! I owe you one, dude.
