Camperitis and Other Diseases
For some reason, every single time Little Dude is scheduled to go camping, he ends up with swollen tonsils (with spots!). Usually Strep. So, was it really any shock to discover that my child has a sore throat yesterday? Nope. Not only that, but it hit him suddenly, as it usually does.
Today included a trip to the doctor’s office. The ex took us. Then we stopped at Walmart for all the supplies: chewable Tylenol, Gatorade, chicken noodle soup, Jell-O (lime, thank you very much), and some cereal.
What have we been doing since we got back? Watching movies, playing with Legos, and I was photographing shells. Oh! And a dove that came to visit us. Why not?
There was also some fun business with the blues society. Seriously, I’m about thisclose to resigning my position on the board. Last night’s meeting was horrendous on many different levels. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. For the most part, I love the people involved, but it’s become apparent that there are problems that I’m just not able to ignore. It makes me sad. Really sad.
Now I’m off to upload the photos from this past week. I have a few of my dad, some macros that LD shot of his Legos, and then the stuff I did today.
Sigh.
Just sigh.
I’m glad you explained the title; I was ready to google the new disease! :shock: :rofl:
Hope LD feels better! Sending him healing vibes! I could mail an envelope of Bree hair if it would help… No? K, then.
:biggrin:

no dog hair, please! We have roommate fur and that’s bad enough.
He probably doesn’t have Strep, but I thought it best to have him checked BEFORE he went away and risked exposing his whole troop to it, you know?

No, I understand. Bree will be devastated, though. :nana:
Oh, and sorry to hear about the blues society. :(

Fingers crossed for no strep… :cross:

Poor kid I feel his pain on strep. I had it so many times in my life that at the age of 24 I got my tonsils out. The deal breaker was getting strep on my honeymoon. It was horrible.

that is usually MY kind of luck. Maybe I’m his birth mother.

no no no, Kaknockers. I have the scars to prove he’s mine all mine. But you can be his alternate mom if you’d like!

I wonder what that means? Potential camping = sudden sore throat? Do you always maybe go camping around the same time of year? So allergies? I wonder about these things.
Anyway. Sorry about the blues society. Groups can get unruly and unproductive and it’s a pain in the ass. I hope it works out for the best,

They do go camping at the same time each year, Deb. There’s also the fact that this is “that” time of year. Thankfully, LD has escaped the Strep beast this time. Next time? Who knows.
Hope your girls are feeling better.
And the blues thing? It’ll work out how it works out. I hate the way things are right now, but I can do nothing but wait and see.
