Adventures in Parenting

Since we adopted Rosalind, a mere year ago, I swear I've had more childhood illnesses than I had as a child. I've had, in approximately chronological order:

Stomach bug, the first

An ear infection

Pink eye

Hand, foot and mouth disease (No, not hoof and mouth disease. Really.)

Pink eye, again

Stomach bug, the second

Not to mention various and sundry stupid colds and sniffly noses.

This past week I've managed to add one more to the list: tonsillitis.

Which wasn't fun, and basically knocked me out for the better part of four days, but is a better outcome than it could have been. Both my doctor and I thought I'd managed to once again get mono. (I had it, very badly, fourteen years ago.) Since it's possible that would have taken me out for MediaWest at the end of the month, I'm glad that got ruled out.

Anyway, that's a long way of saying I haven't been on LJ (or online at all) much in the last week, and since I've now got a zine deadline that's way beyond the drop dead point, I likely won't be on much for the next little while either.

Hope everyone's well, and I'm looking forward to catching up on lots of fun stuff when I've got a bit more time and feel a bit less sick.
