My poor little niece annie has been ill for the last week or so. It's nothing serious, but she has only had formula, no solid food at all, and is just kind of down in the dumps. Check out this photo:
So beautiful, and kind of breaks your heart just a little. How 'bout that tongue hanging out thing?
Get well soon, kiddo. I've got your photo hanging above the desk at my dayjob.
Oh, and speaking of that... my dad passed a kidney stone last week. Ouch. I mean OOOOOOUUUUCCCCCHHH!!!!!!!! Seriously. And then, as sometimes happens to men about 60, he developed shingles. Yup, he sure did. Guess it's one of those things that can happen if you've ever had chicken pox. The virus can just pop up, especially in times of stress. Like the stress of, say, passing a kidney stone. Not contagious, unless you've never had chicken pox or been immunized against them. Which means he can't go near annie :(
And i bet she could use her grandpa about now (though she might be a little freaked out by his shingleface.)
Why i'm just finding out about this today is another question...
And back to the subject of dayjobs - remember that law firm that fired me three days before christmas, as i was wrapping up 'xmas carol' in virginia, right before i was supposed to go back to work? Guess who emailed to ask if i want to temp for the president of the company for a couple weeks next month?
