Sick

Yesterday I was talking about how good my immune system is...4 years around the under 10 crowd and you've basically come into contact with everything that there is.

So, karma being what it is, a mere 24 hours after that proclamation, I'm sick. [I was saying this, for no good reason really, to my mother who has been sick for 3 weeks--hence karma].

Today, I sent three children home from school. Two possible pink eyes (really I think it was probably only one w/ the conjunctivitis...but, you must be safe). One with a bad case of malaise and a story of waking up at 1 a.m. with an ear ache. I also had a contingency of stay in school sickness--the whole body sneezer, the muscle/joint aches, and the whole body sneezer again. My classroom was/is a hot bed for viral infection. Despite all of my hand washing and use of clorox wipes, it seems the little stinkers got me.

P.S. This is my 400th blog post is the 3 years of life as i know it. Maybe I'll celebrate by upping the blogs per month average.

My Day, highlights

Dave and I had a bit of an urban adventure today...we followed the Highland Park/Heritage Square hike taken from the deck of cards with 50 walks in LA I gave Dave for Christmas. First, we went to Aunt Em's for breakfast. I had some tasty tasty grits and was amused by the posters in the bathroom...I love a little bathroom humor. Once we were all fueled up, we began our walk past some beautiful houses and a park where John Phillips Souza played. We ended at Heritage Square and took a tour of some old timey homes. There as an octagon house and a bathroom with a pull chain flush. [Really, it was a blue ribbon day for my love of interesting public bathrooms.] After all of that, I had a little nap and then we went to get some Thai food. On the way back, I thought I saw a dog running through the neighborhood. I was keeping with my long tradition of misidentifying wild animals. It was a coyote. Running through the neighborhood. Past me and Dave and our Thai food.

I love LA.
