Wes is sick again, WTF. We are supposed to see a play with my mother tonight so i texted her yesterday to let her know that he’s sick. right off the bat she’s all “well I cant help you bc one illness can kill your father” (1) I would never and can never count on my mom, ever, so I’d never ask (2) I am so tired of my alcoholic father’s alcoholic-ness running my family. It just triggers me when I have another reminder that i am all alone and have no support despite having two parents 45 minutes away.
I keep debating whether or not to take him in to the ER. He isn’t keeping much down, but he has periods of awakeness and just a slight fever. I need to call the urgent care and see if they can give fluids via IV. My poor baby.
I tend to give K a long time after throwing up before giving her things to drink. Her stomach just cannot tolerate things too soon. Have you tried just letting him suck on an ice cube? I find this give hydration in smaller doses which can be a lot easier on the stomach.
I hope he is feeling better soon!
That’s a good idea. So far he’s kept Gatorade down, if that changes, I’ll do the ice cubes. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it.

So, my daughter's friend's mom asked if the girl can get together tomorrow. I said sure. She then said that her kid really wants to see our cats so can we host.
Like, okay. But, not what I was looking forward to when I agreed. Ha.
They're both good kids and I've decided it means I'll get some sewing time in because I plan to provide light supervision and no meals.
We’re going to look at a new car after DS gets up from his nap. I’m nervous. I’ve never bought my own car before. I’m determined to play hard ball. Lol
Oh, what kind of car are you looking at?
2019 Hyundai Tucson.
We ended up getting it. We were in a bidding war with another person so I went a little over what I wanted to pay, but it’s okay.

A bidding war over a car? What?
So I guess there was another salesperson who had pulled a numbers sheet at the same time ours did. We offered a price we were comfortable paying out the door and our salesperson took it to the manager. Manager said he would honor it if the other people offered less. If they took the advertised price, they would have gotten it.
So maybe not a full on war. lol Just two different people wanting it. It was a year old used car with less than 5k miles on it.

Are you sure there were other people and this wasn’t just a sales tactic?

Yeah there were. We saw them leave as we were told we had a deal.

I saw Little Women this afternoon and low-level cried through the entire movie. Saoirse Ronan is incredible as Jo, and, despite not having seen most of the Oscar front runners yet (we do a marathon the weekend of the Oscars), I am positive Greta Gerwig deserved a Best Director nomination. Her adaptation was one I didn’t expect and didn’t even know I needed from a book beloved by so many, including me.
We booked our flights for our summer vacation back in December because we needed to nail down dates to be able to book condos. Now United has changed all the flight times so I just spent hours cancelling and rebooking our flights. It's settled but sorting through all of the options so that we didn't end up paying double was extremely frustrating and time consuming.
I'm really glad that I insisted on booking our condo for the night that we leave, even though we won't be spending the night there. Our flight out of Kauai now doesn't leave until 9:30pm. It would be a long day to have to check out at 10am. At least now we can really use it as a full day.
My brother lives in Shanghai and I am getting really worried about the virus.
Happy Anniversary of your Birth!
To settle your concerns, my Mom is a virologist and is prepping at her hospital for the likely arrival in Canada. She is also associated with the Canadian CDC, who is already working with China on this. Reports are that the disease has a 1% death rate which is mostly impacting an older population (far less than SARS), is spreading fairly effectively, however is anticipated to have a much lower death rate in North America. She mentioned that it is a respiratory illness which will have worse impacts among a population of heavy smokers and where they have been exposed to decades of bad air pollution. She does not expect many healthy people who contract the virus to be overly sick even.
On a scale of 1 to divorce... I was just about to go take a nap when DH announces he invited a little girl over to play. Except he’s in the middle of a DIY project. Ugh.
I mean obviously it’s fine, I’m just really tired.

Sounds like he can pause his project to oversee them.
I hope it’s nice where you are so they can play outside.

That SUCKS that they changed your flight times.
That's AWESOME that you booked your accommodations for the day you leave. We went to Maui about 5 years ago and did NOT do that, and I was 876564 kinds of regretful that we didn't (our flight left at MIDNIGHT!). The resort was sold out that day too--so there was literally no where for us to go. So so bad.
I’m seeing reports that Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash. I can’t remember if he was a good guy or a bad guy. I feel like I remember some kinds of accusations against him, but I could be thinking of another sportsball player.

Im on a not cheap solo trip to Universal Orlando. First day, I came back to hotel with a fever and have been in bed ever since, with presumed Strep. I couldn’t get an earlier flight home, the On Demand doctor faxed the order for a quick strep test (and other pain killers) to a closed pharmacy, and 5 hours later I can’t get anyone to forward it to somewhere open.
At this rate I’m just going to keep on cycling ibuprofen and Tylenol, and drinking Icees in my room until I leave tomorrow. And try not to think of the money I wasted.

Amazon finally got their v-neck essentials tee in stock in the size and colors I wanted. The olive green is the perfect shade. I’m so excited. I’ve hated wearing my other tees since buying these and now I have enough to wear them daily. Yay!
HoweverItHappened is bonkers. There’s a 55 page thread that started 3 days ago about washing and storing dishes.
It is actually very interesting!! , it started as a post about the posters mother hand washing the dishes (ineffectively) and leaving some of them dirty. The op was wondering how to talk to her mother about it. There was discussion about how she should be quiet because the ops mom provides free childcare five days a week and the poster leaves dishes in the sink for days and days. then somehow being eco-friendly was somehow brought up as a defense but the poster is using plastic/paper dishes and stuff which is decidedly not eco-friendly. Then it devolved into whatever is currently being discussed
That place actually reminds me of ML of 13 years ago or so. We would totally have a 55 pager about the weirdest stuff that would have end posts nowhere related to the original post.

just, that’s terrible. H caught a 24 hour bug when we took DS to Disneyland after Christmas and I was so, so bummed. We were only there for two days so it ruined our trip.
