A Happy Note and a Long Night

What is a home without children? Quiet. ~Henny Youngman

The other day, I told Judy I wished my day had started out with a happy note. So, she sent me this:



It still makes me smile, and after the night I had last night I needed it.

I think I've mentioned before that my DD gets bloody noses regularly. Well... last night she did again, with a vengeance.

Midnight, 2 a.m. and again at 3:45 a.m. -- BAD bloody noses that would not stop gushing for the longest time. I tried everything we've tried before: pinching the bridge, using ice, etc., and they eventually stopped but I'm surprised she wasn't faint from blood loss (and I'm not joking or exaggerating... it was that bad).

When I talked to her doctor last April, he wasn't concerned, but this is a very real problem for us. It can happen any time, anywhere and without warning. And the past couple of years it's been getting worse ... not so much in frequency but in how much blood and how hard they are to stop.

In any case, she crashed again around 4:30, but I have things I have to do in the morning (load up the LASR/WC daily pages), so I couldn't go back to bed. I stayed up, gave the cat her medicine canned food, took out the dog for her potty break and fed her and brewed up some coffee. I've been decaffeinating myself over the past few weeks, but this morning I broke down and made half-caf.

I have a feeling this might be a really long day...

===================




You Are Yellow



You are the brightest person the crowd, and you stand out every place you go. You are incredibly charismatic.

You are truly joyful, and people like to be close to your happiness. You have a strong, positive effect on others.



You are very memorable. A lot of people know you, even those who you haven't seen you in years remember you well.

You are often as happy as you seem, but sometimes you fake it a little bit. You know people are counting on you to lift them up... and you don't want to let them down.




Hmmm... okay....?
