DP's Online Musings

I spent the day with Lassen at A&A’s. Not too much to say — doctor said she probably has RSV and definately has an ear infection caused by strep. Both have me concerned for myself. Since my sarcoidosis diagnosis I am worried more about respiratory infections than before. I’m pretty sure I’m coming down with something — scratchy throat, headache.

Lassen had a few rough moments today. I was carrying her and she started screaming as though she was in pain. I thought she may have bit her tongue, but perhaps it was the ear infection. The other rough time was after waking from her nap. She wanted her mama big time and screamed for her. Even Andrew couldn’t comfort her. She finally calmed down.

At one point during the day she asked for Andrew to take our picture. Through a series of questions Andrew deducted that she wanted to sit on my lap on the couch for the photo. It was one of those newfangled instant cameras — like the old-fashioned polaroids. The photo came out perfectly.

In other good news, I found my lost glove. I’d bought a pair of gloves at Red Orchard at Wildwood just after Christmas. They were on sale and I’d forgotten to bring my gloves. I was going to have to pump gas on the way home, so I thought I needed some protection from the cold. Also I am an impulse buyer.

I wore them that day and maybe one other day. One day I went to the car and found one of the gloves on my windshield. A kind neighbor must have found it in the street and put it on the windshield for me to find. I assumed the other glove was also outside and when I could not find it assumed that it was gone forever. After the big snow, I knew it would never be found. I held on the one glove, just in case.

Today just in case happened! I looked in front of the passenger’s seat and there was the other glove!

We watched another 30 minutes of Frankenstein. Maybe more.
