Complex day

[purplerabbit]

definitely not my best day. Started out all right. Quiet, kittens, boy home. Good. Mom convinced me we should do errands. Good. Got some things done we had on the list including signing fairieboy up for the library's summer reading program and checking out books for his home study program this summer.

(Note: His home study program is his own invention. He wishes he could be home schooled by us, so when he is with us, we do just that. He picks things he wants to learn and I help him. This summer's three main topics are: 1) the Grand Canyon, since we are going there, 2) human evolution and 3) reading the Diary of Anne Frank. Probably a lot to tackle, but he wants these topics, so I am up for giving it a try. In addition, Daddy airshipjones is teaching him fencing and some more computer skills this summer.)

Okay, so the day was going well. Except that I forgot to eat before we went off to do errands, so by 2 PM, I had a bad headache. Then when my boy and his fairy-sister wouldn't give me the downtime I needed until I got upset with them, well, it turned migraine. Even after medication and a nap, I still feel queezy and in pain.

Then there was an accident involving Sable. Little kitten Sable got under foot and was accidently stepped on by fairieboy. He is favoring his right front paw/arm pretty badly. If not better by morning, we will take him to the vet.

So I am kinda feeling yucky. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. cyan_blue is scheduled to take fairieboy and some of this friends geocashing from 11-3 tomorrow. I have a hair cut and coloring appointment at noon, with an eye exam for contacts following it. I want to be ready for our trips this summer, starting with the Ancient Ways festival next week.

Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Don't know if you saw weirdodragoncat's post, but she thinks she and dragonchild42 have strep throat. I only just read about it so I don't know if it has been confirmed or not....but keep an eye on yourself and the family.

*hugs*

Allegra said that DC42 was not at the overnight, true? If so, I'm grateful for lessened exposure. The last thing we need is strep right before she takes off for Memphis!

No, she didn't attend the party at all since she was sick.

Does Hayward have a summer reading program? In San Leandro we do, and kids can sign up and get small prizes for each book read, at a rate of something like 2 per week. At the "end" of the summer there's a carnival, open only to those who've completed the program. Don't know if he'd still be here for that, but there are other incentives as well, usually. Strikes me as a fun thing to do since he'll be doing a bunch of reading anyway.

Allegra's last day of school is tomorrow. When shall we get the kids together again?
