The Morning News

By Faith Friedman

May 12, 2008

 

There’s a fundamental disconnect,

Between reality and intellect,

The economy’s not failing,

Till the rich begin their wailing,

Cyclones in Myanmar,

Tornados in the homeland,

Children entombed in the rubble,

Of their schools in China.

 

Would-be leaders bickering,

Over gas prices incessantly dickering,

Prom teenagers arrested,

For wearing skimpy dresses,

Caterwauling and hysterics,

Over imaginary messes,

Standing on the brink,

Of the deep hole we’ve been digging.

First Anniversary!

The cake was actually tasty. I'm very surprised. I didn't actually eat the cake at the wedding so it was my first piece. The actual anniversary is tomorrow (of the legal ceremony), but we have a family thing. So we're celebrating today. :)

18 months!

Mike and Amanda have been successfully, if chaotically, wed. Many "happy happy's" in their direction. If you took photos at the wedding please email me a copy for a project. I have mine on Flickr but have none from the actual ceremony as I was busy. I do have a video though.

Money money money.

Money makes the world go round. And so, to bring in more money I will be opening an informal home day care (Legal Two). This way I can stay home and make some money. My father is acting as an investor to get the ball rolling. Legally I'll be able to watch two children at a time. To do this I am completely rearranging the apartment. Mu bedroom is moving into the back "tv room" and what was my bedroom will be the tv/playroom. This way I avoid having to renovate the washroom which would cost money we don't have. Also because my current bedroom and Celeste's room is adjoined I'll have a separate spaces for babies and older children that I can see at the same time.

A major effect of this is the need to de-game-ify the house. Meaning gaming books, figs, dice, maps, etc either go into storage or need a new home. But as I get older gaming has become far less important so that doesn't bother... me. Working on the application, it should be ready by next week. This weekend I hope to do the room switch, I plan on drafting anyone who comes by.

Celeste seems to be coming down with something. It's been minor so far. Everyone gets sick sometimes. :(

If anyone has Audrey's phone number or can into contact with her, please let me know. She isn't responding to emails and I need to talk to her about the wedding photos. Any help would be hugely appreciated. :)

Ciao!

So it looks like she got the rotavirus or similarly nasty diahrea virus and THEN picked up roseola. She started sporting pink spots lats night. But it should be over. With roseola after the fever break, spots appear/disappear, it should be done. No fever, no loose BM's today.. so it looks good. Now we just gotta kick the diaper rash.

In other news I quit Tutor Time. I will be staying hoem with her and looking for a convenient PT job, maybe babysitting. We shall see. Babysitting would probably be best. Retail hours aren't terribly predictable and I'd have to completely work around Dan's schedule.

Celeste has been sick for a week and half now. Diahrea from wed Oct 31-Nov 9. Then the fever started Thursday night. It hasn't  gone above 102.1 but yesterday she was lethargic and looked a bit blue. They doc couldn't see her and told us to take her to the urgent care at the hospital. They didn't find anything. No loose bms today but she doesn't look right and the fever is back. And around lunch it looked like she may have been twitching or maybe just shivering. Something is not right.

Dan doesn't want her to go back to daycare until she is older and I am seriously considering quitting anyway. Send good vibe sour way please.
