Interrupted by a surprise ear ache mid day.

Had an impromptu call from the school yesterday as my youngest randomly had a pretty righteous ear ache that left her in tears, and a good deal of pain. So I rushed over to the school to grab her. Fed her some kids Motrin for the pain, and administered over the counter ear drops, 2 sets over a couple of hours. It did not seem to help, so I called the doctor’s office and they had one last appointment for the day so we zipped over there, and as soon as we stepped foot inside the office either the pain meds kicked in, or the drops did because she was mostly fine by that point. A touch of redness in the ear, but that was either the start or the end of whatever her issue was. I gave her more Motrin to get to sleep with, and some to last the day at school, and we will see what is what then. Fingers crossed it was just a last push from the cough & cold working its way out of her system! One can hope

Looks both windy, and rainy outside now. Glad we do our daily walk when we did as it would be most unpleasant to be out there in the thick of it now. Tomorrow is to be a waste of a day with both rain, and snow on the forecast. Fun times. I just hope my youngest is well enough to go climbing this afternoon. I really did miss it last week when both kids stayed home sick on Tuesday. This constant up and down with the weather is not playing very nice with our bodies. I could do with no more snow, and a gentle rise in temperatures to about 10°C or more for the next couple weeks, instead of the sudden May jump from cold in the morning to nearly 30°C in the afternoons. That’s not spring, that’s a dirty, dirty trick.

Tax bill is soon going to come along and hurl insults at me. So that’s fun. Plus this month’s credit card bill will come at virtually the same time. Always a painful time of year. At least this go around I have my HST paid upfront, and might even get some of it back. That would be a nice little treat. Eh? I think so.

Is it only Tuesday? Feels later on in the week than that. I need a nap. And my nose to stop running. I haven’t sneezed this much in the whole of the last year. Craziness.
