Ice, Ice, Baby...

It's raining, and freezing.

Why is no one else's look like this?

I keep calling people and say freezing rain, and they keep telling me it's just rain. Am I crazy? Not!

Day two of lock hook project

Thanks Barb for taking pictures for me on the new paitent registration desk.

One floral fabric, designer yarn, and tools.

The outside is whip-stiched and the little pieces are my 'markers' for the fabric rows

My first row. I'm picking a really easy first project as I learn this new hobby. I am enjoying the heck out of it. I started the whip stitching yesterday at work, finished it at Lexie's counseling appointment, and started my first row at lunch today.

Near miss

Lot’s of stuff going on around here.  Mostly, I’ve been having much grief as a result of Lexie’s dad’s version of insanity.  He can be such a terrible pain to me. 

 

Last week, I stayed home with Lexie recovering from tonsillectomy.  Her voice is so funny now, I haven’t gotten used to it.  It’s supposed to get back to normal soon.  I made a huge mistake last week.  The medicine routine for Lexie involves a cup of water or milk after a swallow of medicine; helps the medicine go down.  So, one morning I gave her 1 ½ teaspoon of Amoxicillin, she drank milk from her cup and said she didn’t want anymore.  I walked the cup into the kitchen, and without giving it a second thought, drank the rest of the milk.  I happen to be allergic to penicillin and the tiny amount left on the rim of her cup from her mouth put me into mild anaphylactic shock.  That was a fun morning.

Going to Tonsillectomy time.

Places to go...People to see...Things to do...Tissue to be removed...

She's pointing at the Tram.

She's having vitals checked and getting a dose of pre-anesthesia meds.

Are we ready to rumble!

Lot's of Docs to talk to her and Lexie always joking with them.

Super nurses too.

Squintchy smile.

As she tries out the hospital gown and bed.

No more tonsils

Not really even awake yet.

What's missing here?

I still have my frog

In the lobby waiting for Grammy to bring the car around.

Crazy Flying Bubble Griffen

Sam and Alex gave "Bubble Dog" a run for his money.

Yikes?

Lift off!

Bizarre!

Bubble dog, and numbers

Bubbles do bring out the "crazy" in Griffen.

I'm rather fond of the shot.

Lexie went to town with my tape calculator.

Tortoise Time

Crystal's food is attractive

There she is!

Wow, I really don't like our kitchen floor, but she does.

MASSIVE INERTIA

I think about blogging every day.  Operative word, "THINK".  OK, so at break today, I shall overcome the inertia and do a blog entry!  It's not like nothing is going on, it's been exciting and great. 

Lexie had a Christmas party at school that I went to, fun.

The results of Lexie's sleep study came back and she has mild to moderate sleep apnea.  She has an appointment on the ninth to an ENT for evaluation for possible adnoid-tonsillectomy. 

We missed her first swim lesson of the winter session last night because it's half hour earlier, and I miss judged driving time on a school day.

I guess some of the biggest news of all is our new Russian Tortoise, Crystal.  She a real beauty and we love her.  Even a tortoise can be cuddly.

I'll be posting pictures, tons, soon.
