Dorothy's friends yelled EAT when they saw my new shoes, so I think that's good. Also, yes I do plan to wear these out of the house.
Cooper also has influenza-A in addition to strep, so that's been terrible for him. He feels like trash, and he is allergic to ibuprofen, so he can only take tylenol every 6 or so hours. SUCH A BUMMER.
I am teaching a public speaking workshop for law students this week, and I got a whole afternoon in a quiet and fairly clean house to work on it.
Woof is it cold here, you guys. I crammed my Comfy under my coat for Annabel's Sunday morning dog walk
FROZEN LAKE!! A kid pick-up treat
Minnie can change he earrings-- she HATES putting new ones in and out, but she loves the way they look:
Oh poor Cooper, hope he's better soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, we'll get through it. Avoid the news at all costs.
ReplyDeletePoor Cooper- the worst part is he's allergic to ibuprofen??? Tylenol just doesn't do it for me. I hope he feels better soon!
Oh no. It is the season for sickness and these cold temps are NOT helping. There was a school ski trip today and it was cancelled because it's so darn cold. I wasn't sad - I was going and know I would have been MISERABLE. An extra evening in my PJs at home by the fireplace? Um...yes, please!
ReplyDeleteThat little ball of fluff peeking over the coach is a riot. Stuff a bummer that Cooper is sick. Sounds miserable. My morning news program, WGN, is 90% entertainment. That’s the right combo for me.
ReplyDeleteDang it. . . That was Ernie.
ReplyDeleteThere is SO MUCH influenza-A right now. I heard that the vaccine is basically not effective this year, so that's not great. I mean, people are already anti-vaccination and having an ineffective vaccine right now is not great timing. I hope Cooper feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that's a rough combo! My boys had that strap and influenza a combo last fall. Then Phil got influenza A, which developed into pneumonia. In other words, it was a dumpster fire.
ReplyDeleteOne of our hospitals closing + a surge in influenza and covid = no rooms at the inn. I spent nearly 24 hours in the ER (part of the time in a "garage bed" which is in the actual ambulance bay!) because no beds were available. I'm an overachiever of influenza + pneumonia, and now that I have a hospital room I'm not giving it up until I can walk to the bathroom without wheezing. Sending Cooper some healing vibes!
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry to hear Cooper is so sick! Fingers crossed that no one else gets it.
ReplyDeleteLoving that the girls yelled "EAT" at you. High praise from the middle school set for sure.
ugh, poor Cooper. My dad wasn't feeling well yesterday but we will try many other things before subjecting him to a hospital ER at this time of year. It's also very cold here - will Annabelle still walk? Lucy will go to the end of the driveway and poop and then nope back in. I would wear those shoes EVERYWHERE. Harry is STILL HOME? Wow, what a break!
ReplyDeleteI hope Cooper is all better...
ReplyDeleteThose slippers look so comfy! My heels would protest if I wore them outside, but would love those for indoors. I love that you did your teen proud :). (Is D a teen? I'm getting teen vibes for sure.)
Oh dang, strep AND the flu? That sucks. I hope Cooper is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteListen, it's been cold here (like in the 30s, so warm for you) and I just do not know HOW people handle freezing temps all day every day. GODSPEED.
