we did an experiment and tried going to playtime this morning. it was not a success. she was hanging with her bad self for about three minutes, the rest was me holding her. then we walked with mini-zoë’s mommy and mini-zoë on the seawall. she’s one of my new favourite moms. one of those really authentic, no bullshit kind of people. then the doctor’s office, BUT NO, there was an hour long wait, so we vetoed, in favour of grocery shopping three block away.
by the time we traveled one third of the way there, she was already crashed, half hanging out of her stroller, face in the snack tray. and continued to be so until we got home and i was all loaded up with groceries and undid her waist belt – obviously from her reaction i should have just kept walking around aimlessly, letting our meatballs thaw and be converged on by bacteria.
but i had to take her out, cuz now, the flu has moved to my, uh, lower intestines. and the only two things i’ve been able to eat in the last week…have not been welcome. so i rocked her for as long as i could once we were upstairs, then i laid her down and she was noticeably upset (understatement) but i only had the one pair of pants clean and i wanted to keep it that way. i said i’d be right back.
by the time i was, she was crashed again.
so this afternoon, upon waking, we’ll try to see the doctor again for a follow-up and also cuz after a day with a lowered fever, this morning she woke up with another one = concern. after that, i believe i’ll be procuring a the killers CD. just cos.
today is phil’s bday. if you’re into faceless bday wishes, go spread em!
