Stuff

It was another weekend and here we are already in the middle of a week. Nora was exposed to hand, foot, and mouth disease and came down with the massive spiking fever on Saturday. I've never seen her like that. She just sat there with her mouth open a little staring at the wall. We knew the fever was supposed to be really high and what it was from, so it wasn't as scary as it sounds, but still, rather disconcerting.

I came down with a somewhat lesser version of it which left me pretty much inert through the weekend. I took monday off as well, which was definitely a good idea, but by the end of the day I was pretty solid. Doctor says that we're not contagious, but I'm trying to be careful at work. None of us got any of the blistering thank goodness.

Other than that, not really a whole lot going on. I have a backlog of stuff I need to deal with, particularly getting my scooter fixed and my car looked at. The car (and that would be the Honda, finally, what is ours is ours again!) has an engine light, but once those go off they stay on until cleared and it dates back to a snowstorm. It's due for an oil change though.

We're also buying a new mattress, which I know nothing about. I've slept quite happily on a Japanese style futon (ie, not the crap ones you generally get in the US) since college, but Janna wants something with more support and that kind of thing. It's so complicated and the prices are insane. I have this vague feeling that we're going to end up at Ikea and just cough up for the shipping.

What else. More Marvel Heroes. I've started to think about writing again. I've been off it so long. Just fatigued with the whole thing.
