Topic: This and That
This picture was taken a couple of days ago. It's Ryan with his new kitty that his great aunt Jean sent him. :)
Here are some pictures from our snow (there are also a couple more of Ryan). March Snow Enjoy!
I think Ryan is sick again. Ugh! This time it's his nose, and a bit of a caugh. I think Ryan got a whole three or four days where he was healthy. *sigh* One of my friends from the baby sitting co-op gave me some eucalyptus plug-in type thingies you plug in the wall outlet. I hope it helps Ryan sleep. I've also slathered on the vapor rub on his chest. I've got tylenol drops at the ready.
This morning was weird. Ryan woke up really early (about 6:20am) and would not go back to sleep for anything. Just as I was about to give up and get him, he fell asleep. He only napped for about an hour in the afternoon. I'm hoping he will sleep tonight. I've heard him sneezing and coughing a little bit though.
Monday night was a card making spouse's coffee. I had been looking forward to it for a while. There were all sorts of neat papers and scrapbooking type supplies for us to embellish blank notecards. There was also a chocolate fountain, plus all manner of pot luck items people brought. There was child care on site, but unfortunately Ryan did not want to be parted from me. (Looking back on it now, it may be he was already starting not to feel that great.) In the end, I didn't really get to participate in the coffee, which was disappointing. However, it was nice to at least get out and socialize.
Yesterday I just went on post and ran some errands.
Today I had one of the ladies from the co-op watch Ryan for a little while so I could get some cleaning done. (We're having a new window installed in the room we were using for storage. I needed to clear a work space around the window.) It was amazing to me how much I could accomplish when I just focused. It actually came as sort of a revelation. I really don't focus my energy all that often (I think that's because I use most of it up taking care of Ryan!), so I'm never getting everything done that I want to.
Last night and tonight I was watching a thing on VH1 called, "100 Greatest Teen Stars." It was fun because a lot of these stars are people I grew up watching. They are mostly either my age, or a bit older. Watching this show takes me back, kind of like looking at an old yearbook.
As far as Ryan goes, I am hoping that this cold will be mild and over quickly. His energy and appetite seem to be up still, so that's a good sign. I don't think either of us could take another bout of vomiting and diarrhea like the one he just got over.
We don't have any plans for tomorrow. Friday is the St. Patrick's Day fun run on post. I haven't run in about three weeks! I'm sure it will still be fun.
