Happy Monday, Gang

by Slack, on February 18th, 2008

Ok, Monday is coming to a close. It was all a hazy ass blur to me. I was pretty much exhausted through the whole thing, and now I am getting ready to call it quits and recharge for tomorrow. Tuesday usually packs more of a punch that Monday, and I have to get ready for it.

Rhys went to the doctor today, and the decision is “Hurry up and wait more!” Doc says he doesn’t want to put tubes in Rhys’ ears given his medical history and the infection does seem to be getting better. He still has fluid behind his ears and if that doesn’t start to get better, we will go ahead with the tubes. But, for now we are continuing on the antibiotics and hoping for the best.

The meds got him feeling pretty bad, so he’s still out of school for this week. Planning on returning to school (and mom back to work) next week. Is it possible things could get back to normal next week?! NO WAY!! LOL

Happy POETS Day

by Slack, on February 8th, 2008

Thank god it’s POETS Day! The weekend is upon us. I worked two days this week… Well, two and a half days, yet it felt like much more than a full week! I’m sure this is largely due to the horrible sickness we’ve been enduring… Which leads into our first story…

Rhys-man’s infection still has not cleared up. Nor has it gotten better. His hearing is down to about 15% of what it is normally. He continually asks us, “What you said?” This was cute and even funny at first, but now it’s starting to worry me. I mean, the docs aren’t so worried. Neither is Heidi. His ears are three shades of fucked at the moment, so it’s no wonder he can’t hear. It just breaks my heart to see the little guy like this. WTF! Hasn’t he been through enough for fuck sake?! Jesus Christ on a pogo stick… dipped in chocolate. How about a fucking break!

Anyway, in other news. All my websites are flashing the little “There’s a new version of Wordpress available.” First of all, Wordpress is a great BlogCMS. I highly recommend it. Second, I love that they keep you so well informed of updates. That rocks. Third, I hate. I hate with the fire of a thousand burning suns when this happens. LOL! Now I have to go around and update the sites. Not a big deal. Not a big deal at all, but damn, grrrr!!!

Lastly,  the project I WAS working on, got sidelined for another project. This new project is almost at it’s Alpha release point. Which I must say is exciting because I rarely take projects to anything resembling an Alpha stage. :) LOL Once it’s fit for at least Beta (if it gets that far), I will announce it here. :) YAY

Ta ta.
