Someone Put a Pox On Our House (POOH).
And when I say, pox, I mean misfortune and calamity.
All last week we were sick; except Erik who was barely keeping all of us and himself together. Acid-Reflux-Everett continues to gag up on his medicine. (we've gone through all our towels twice) I was horridly sick. Very, very sick.
And, I am a bit better today, but Everett has pink-eye again, 3X in same eye with barely a day without symptoms between the flaring up (and now a cold), and we are going to see his eye specialist. Erik now has pink eye. And, this week, I've had some very fun side effects come up (read more on How Are You Peeling? Part II).
So, as we try and manage the POOH, we are also trying to figure out what needs to be redone in the house to start getting it ready to sell. No, we don't have a job. No, we haven't put the house on the market. But, in the next months I will either be pregnant or going through FET again, and we should get a start on all of this.
Aside from that, we did have some fun moments. Here are our Thrills for the past week.
Erik: I was able to donate the Prelude to Purple Heart Car Donation and feel great that it will help someone else. It definitely was a great car for a long, long time. I am now on a new project where I don't need to travel to Maryland which will make having one car easier on us.
Sheila: The FET transfer went well, and we still have 2 cryofrozen-Han-Solo-babies-to-be ready to go if this round is not successful.
Everett: I got new shoes! Okay, Mom griped just a bit over the fact that she couldn't find the type of shoes that I need in the less expensive shoe stores, but what did she expect? I am a big boy! I love my new shoes.
Erik and I are thrilled at just how many words Everett picks up everyday. On the way home from an errand this morning, he asked for his "affe" . . . his "giraffe"--His walking is becoming more fluid even with the new shoes. He says "hi" and "bye" to everyone and everyroom. He is a prolific meow-er and has recently started calling the squirrels "cat." He is such a joy and has a great sense of humor.
We hope to get some video soon showing you some of Everett's tricks, some of the signs he uses, and to show off his walking. Here's hoping we rid the POOH from our home soon!
