Here we are 1 plus AM in the morning, chatting with Telehealth over the phone because the youngest’s cough has peaked so badly she is now throwing up after each coughing fit. Each spasm causes her to spit up a bunch. Luckily she’s a team player and got it in the toilet & tub only. What a sport! Breathing was up to 44 breaths per half minute (not good). But has calmed down due to exhaustion and she is finally asleep. For how long? No body knows at this point. The nearest ER has a five (5) hrs wait time to get in, so we’ll watch and monitor her here, and make more calls in the morning. Not much can be done about croup coughs, so we’re told. Wait it out, make her comfortable. Add moisture to the air. Sleep slightly elevated. Yadda yadda yadda. Poor shmoo! Hate to see her in distress like that.
Now it’s about 1:30am and I can’t sleep. Bonus writing round for the day it is then. My previous thoughts on the photo gambit failed miserably. Turns out a post with atleast one photo does not, in fact, produce a higher number of reads and/or views. Huh? Consider me befuddled then. Because I just don’t get it. Maybe no one wants to hear about cottage life this late into October. Or maybe the recent great weather has put more people outside, so fewer were inside reading to pass the time? Maybe we all put the great weather to our advantage in order to get shit done around the ole homestead. Could be one of a million factors. I don’t know.
I have all the lights off but those tiny green numerals are mocking my inability to sleep. I also feel as though the house is a bit hotter than usual right now? Or I’ve caught the sun, and am now paying the star damage price for being outside in shorts & a t-shirt all day. Can’t forget about the power of star damage, even this late into the year. C’est la vie!
What else is there… hm. We (my wife and i) had the chance to drive up to the cottage by ourselves last Friday, and boy was it a quiet ride without the kids in the back seat. We ate someplace different for a change, and had a nice peaceful trek up north. The kids were whisked off by grandma and grandpa earlier in the day. So I got to work alone for a while during the P.A. Day. Was scrambling to finish up a few things, so it was a welcome boon to have. As always, stay safe out there. Ciao Bella!
