Youngest DD made 5 costumes for a 4 day con event, got sick on day 1, attended day 2 then went to bed for the next 2 days.....chills, fever, aching, skin hurting, snotty with some tummy troubles. Just miserable.
She has a training session scheduled for tomorrow, before our dinner out, and it's not clear if she'll make either, neither or both.
Last night was terrible.....we travelled 3 hours, she got a bath, then slept on the bathroom floor for 2 hours. I changed her bedding, found meds/clean jammies made tea and helped her get to bed. Every time the pug showed up, DD wept....she missed her badly, and we cry when we have fevers. Pitiful.....oldest DD calls her sister the "the very ill Victorian child." Pitiful.
This morning DD woke feeling much better, though her skin still hurts....her sore throat is better, and everything improved.
I fed her lemonilo (onion chicken flavor) ramen, made with chicken and bone broth. I made mine with 2 eggs mixed into a little broth and Kewpi mayo....very creamy.
If you think you might want to up your ramen game. Lemonilo is the one. Hopey offers 2 flavors, for $1.45 a pack, at our store....cases of them.
I'm noticing zero charge around the travel difficulties......no desire to rehash them, woohoo!
Enough to say there was a water leak, 1 ejected guest, and disinfecting the household/bedding, on top of zero privacy, and lots of socializing.....
::checking in with myself::.
I'm not even fetal today. Therapy is totally worth it, IME.
I dropped Christmas cards off at my brother's house. It was nice to see him, my niece, and the new furniture installed in the LR and main bedroom. I think a new love interest, is catalyst, and good for him. I sense a lightness in his spirit, and perhaps more empathy, for ESL folks, as she's an immigrant. I picture a cool breeze blowing through him..... restorative and cleansing. Yes.
That's my update.
