Sorry I've been away. I got a lot sicker, to the point that more than one boy is sleeping fully-clothed and within arm's reach ready to whisk me off to Emergency as I attempt to breathe at all. The smoke is back in the air and my so-called sinus infection is morphing down into my lungs. Caleb actually yelled at the doctor today to try and make him magically fix me and I had to turn and stare quietly at him, my disapproval all over my face until he tried to justify it as worry, stress and fear.
I'm not going to die. I sound about eight degrees lower than normal, and instantly started coughing.
He ignored my promise and instead wondered out loud if he should fly in someone better.
Give this a few days to work and if it doesn't kick in soon we'll maybe admit her.
No! I croak. No way. No more hospitals. Jesus. It's been a long summer already. Then I cough some more.
I did survive the birthday party for Lochlan, though my speech is on hold until I do feel better and Caleb's been bunking with us two nights straight out of sheer worry. I think Ben is kind of annoyed but Lochlan seems fine with it. He and Caleb are getting along so well I'm in wonderment instead of misery as it is so let's just keep this rolling. If I feel better in a few days and they go back to being at war with each other then I'll have it all figured out. In the meantime I wish I felt well enough to enjoy the extra attention.
I'll try to post more though. I've mostly been sleeping.
