Holding on by my fingernails

A.M weigh-in: 170.2
I ended up in the ER at 2:30 am with Sean and Skye, both running fevers of over 102 and Sean having a mild asthma attack. It was time to see a doctor. And to be tested for swine flu (or any kind of flu.) Thank goodness that came back negative! Whew, big [...]

Deja Vu all over again

And so I am once again back at Disneyland! Third time this month. That’s gotta be some kind of record for a non-local! Especially since I also don’t have a season pass (though I do have free tickets this time and they had an expiration that was coming up right quick.)

Tonite is the end of two very stressful days. My computer at work DIED. Motherboard burned out. I’m filling in for the secretary of my stepdad’s company along with doing my regular jobs. Surprise, Sean has minimum days this week, he gets out of school before all the other kids, so I have to go [...]
