The color of infinity inside an empty glass

K has had the Cold of Doom (if it's a cold. Maybe it isn't) since last Wednesday. What started out as a sort throat and stuffy nose has gone into an ugly cough and blood shot eyes.

Friday morning, she hit her limit. The baby had been fussy during the night and she was tired and sick and blah. She begged me to stay home and help with the boy, so I checked my PTO and made it happen.

Amusingly, Friday morning while unable to sleep, I was busy thinking of a game I hadn't played in a while, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I hadn't played it.. probably in over a year and I suddenly wanted to play it.

So Friday, while K and the baby slept and watched TV, I played. And played. And played.

Saturday was better, in general. K still had (has) the sick of doom, but the baby was less fussy, at least. We didn't do much, but we enjoyed what we did do.

Sunday, the sick got worse. She woke up coughing like crazy. We had thought of going to Babies R Us to get a swing, but we didn't. We sat and watched TV instead (I found a red box and rented "Time Traveler's Wife" for her. She enjoyed it.) and took care of the baby.

Sunday night, about 7 (as I was beginning to feel tired.), kareila calls to remind me that ChaoticMUX is going down "for good" (except maybe not.)

Yesterday, the Squirm had an Orthopedist appointment and I wanted to be there for that. The Orthopedist felt very positive about Mr. Robert. He moved his palm, his fingers, his wrists, his neck. She noticed movement between the thumb and pinky which could be used later to help him learn how to do things two handed. All in all, she felt very positive he'd grow to learn how to use two hands. She said she didn't need to see him again until he was a year old, and then only to start training us, her parents, on how to train him on how to use both hands properly.

Got home from the appointment, K went to sleep and when she woke up she screamed for me to come up. Her eyes had gummed together and she was freaking out that she could have pinkeye. She ended up calling her mom who suggested that it was probably the same sick she's had for six days today and that it had infected her eyes, which is not good, but a whole lot better than pinkeye.

(Meanwhile, though all of this, while K is suffering this horrid cold, I've had the occasional sore throat and runny nose, but nothing half so horrible as her. Knock in wood that it stays this way and we can figure out (or the doctor can offer suggestions on) how to strengthen her immune system.

Today, I am back at work. I have real work to do. Today, my wife is going to the doctors to check out the cold (if it is a cold.)

That's pretty much it from over here.

EDIT: I also joined liv's friending meme over here.

And now we're officially at the busy time of the month or so...

Tonight, we're off to go visit spydielives. She needs help getting something from her car and we decided to make it a social meeting. It'll give me an excuse to finally give this golf game back, which is.. cute, but better with two players than one and kinda not my thing as a one player game (I TRIED!)

This weekend, K's parents are heading down to Baltimore for Preakness. We're going to meet up with them probably a little after dinner. We're thinking that we'll head to dance practice tomorrow, come home to eat and then head off to the Baltimore Science Museum and do a nice'ish dinner in the Inner Harbor.

The weekend after that is scheduled to be busy. I forget why. Must not be important. Apparently, however, we're heading off to Vegas. Flying up Saturday Afternoon and flying back to BWI on Tuesday, which gives us a day to go wander around the loop and see whatever it is we may want to see. Not that we've planned that out too much. We should probably give it SOME thought.

Nothing going on the weekend after that, thank god. Somehow, I suspect that "Collapsing from Exhaustion" will be on the agenda that weekend. Well, and dance practice.
EDIT: As K points out, there is something of SOME import that weekend, but plans for celebrations are, as of yet, a little unclear.

The Tuesday after that weekend, June 2nd for those paying attention SHOULD be a busy day. Something's happening that day. I forget what. It must not be important. However, this cute little teaser is supposedly related to that. (That teaser really is cute. :) )
Oh, and I think we're stopping off in Vienna to get out first week worth of vegetables. That's as I recall it, in any case.
*imagines K comes home, H meets her, they ZOOM off in H's car, H speeding the whole way so he can go back home and play something, K clutching to the door in pure terror...
... come to that, maybe K should drive that day...*

Also, we need to be seriously talking Disney when we get back. We do have time to get things planned, but figuring out things (such as "How long will we be down there?") would be good.

I feel like someone zooming around in about five different directions at the same time.

But there are worse things.
