99.9 Farenheit Degrees

An update and a thanks for all the comforting comments of my “OMG MY KID IS SICK SOMEBODY HELP ME?!?!111” post from yesterday. If it didn’t read quite that way on the page, trust me that it did in my head.

Today he was down to a respectable 99.9 before I left for work. According to Damon he’s still screamy and clinging like a monkey. But I feel we are moving in the right direction. The doctor says he has a stomach virus that’s been going around. I guess she means going around the eastern seaboard because he hasn’t been in the ‘hood lately.

Here’s a thoroughly unoriginal observation of a new mother: It bemuses me to get coated in vomit and feel nothing but relief because I know it means he likely feels better. I mean, really. I’d like my mommy badge now.

Also, I’d like everyone to know that he did just fine with the $50 and the cab. I mean, it’s not like we didn’t call the car service to come get him right outside our courtyard.

    Oh no. I am sad to say that sounds right.

    Wear it proudly, though!
    Think of it as a multicoloured epaulet!
