November 2, 2009: Liesl Is Still Not Well

Liesl is still sick today. Today marks one entire week since she first started getting sick.  A whole week!  That is a long time in the life of a baby.  Her nurse practicioner had made a big point of saying that this was a twenty-four hour stomach bug and that it couldn’t be the flu because it didn’t last a week.  Well, here we are, it has been a week.  Apparently it never occurred to the NP that a week long flu has only lasted for one day when you are just one day into it?  Even little children know that that doesn’t make any sense.

October 31, 2009: Hallowe’en

Today was my sick day.  First Liesl, then Dominica and no me (and still Liesl.)  Not really, really sick.  But some.  So after getting a chance to play Oblivion last night for an hour I decided that today was going to be a day without work in which I got to play Oblivion.  It has been a really long time since I had the opportunity to actually sit down and spend a day just relaxing and working on my character development.  It was great, even if I did have to be sick for it to happen.

October 30, 2009: Liesl Has a Better Day

It was about three o’clock in the morning when we got home from the hospital.  What a long night.  No real sleep for us.  Maybe three hours at best.  No sleep for poor little Liesl either.  What a rough night she has had.

I was hurtin’ when I got up to start work this morning.  I slept in as long as I could but that was not very long.
