Blech

December 6th, 2006

I have been sick. Thus, the blech. It actually hasn’t been that bad considering that when I usually get sick, I am coughing up a lung and hovering on the brink of hospitalization. I kid you not, I don’t half ass when it comes to illness. There are usually prescription drugs involved and jokes about tuberculosis. Somehow, this time, I managed to escape all that. No fever, no hacking consumptive cough, just a stupid earache. What am I, 5? I have suffered from ear infections my whole life, which as a musician is a huge pain in the ass. I can only hope that Ashok doesn’t inherit my wussy ears. Speaking of the boy wonder, he managed to avoid getting sick, thank god. I’m not ready to deal with that just yet. And he slept for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT last night! That kid is awesome. And look:

He smiles! And not just the “I’m passing gas, heh heh heh” smiles. Real smiles that I can bring forth by making silly faces at him. So much fun.

This weekend, we’re hoping to go get our Christmas tree. Being married to Mr. Christmas, these things have to be done in a timely manner. A tree must be picked, decorations taken out of storage, lights hung, etc, etc. Then we will proceed with our Christmas Traditions - our cats enjoy the Drinking of the Tree Water and the Destruction of the Ornaments, while Brian and I enjoy the Dressing of the Cats in Antlers and Jingle Bell Collars and Forcing them to Dance to Christmas Carols. Soon after this is the Cleaning of the Scratches and Dressing of the Wounds. Oh, but it’s worth it.

    I’m so glad that you’re getting the illness out of the way early this year. We’ll stock up on Airborne just in case. The kid is super cute. I love his big boy outfits.

    Cagey, I’m sure antlers for the baby aren’t far behind…..

    I am laughing out loud about Brian being referred to as Mr. Christmas! It totally suits him.

    He has never let me forget about the year that our family decided to do a minimalist tree. I knew then that he was a closet Christmas freak. :>
