Annabelle is dealing with bronchitis AGAIN. I’m just as tired writing about it as I’m sure you are of hearing it. It’s neeeever ending. I finally switched doctors because her initial doctor wasn’t being proactive about getting to the root of the issue or sending her to an allergy/asthma doctor. Switching doctors caused me some guilt. I was afraid I’d hurt the doctors feelings by leaving. I wanted to send flowers and tell her it wasn’t personal! She’s lovely! Never looked down on me for my constant visits! Now I’m having second thoughts. Maybe I should go back. I call and reinstate AB as a patient tomorrow.


I had to make a plethora of phone calls to find the new doctor so I deserve a medal. Adulting is too hard. I think the best of both worlds is to be an adult with the responsibilities of a child. All the fun parts but none of the insurance hassles.

We had two men come over today and test the house for mold. We’ll get results tomorrow, but when I asked if the man had any predictions he said, “well, it doesn’t look too good.” What a sunny outlook. When we spent much of last winter sick I joked that we were allergic to this state. Turns out, I might have been right. We might be allergic to our own house. 


Yesterday the doorbell rang while I was on the phone. I wasn’t expecting someone and there wasn’t a car in the driveway so naturally I assumed someone was there to murder us. I am truly an example of sunshine and optimism. It was the general manager from the restaurant next door asking for signatures. Normally I read everything carefully before I sign but this time I was distracted and didn’t study the paper. I signed on the line and sent him on his way. For all I know I could have been agreeing to sell my liver. Christopher’s too, since I also signed his name.


How could I possibly find anything more thrilling to talk about that mold and livers?


I was looking through pictures of Sesame the other day and came across my very favorite ultrasound picture. I loved her little nose in the ultrasound and I love it now.
