I figure we won't get any news for a bit.. unless the problem, as Descartes suspects, is a squirrel infestation. In that case I am quite certain we will get a call tomorrow.
Jake is still dragging his foot. He is still crying every day after school. He is still randomly waking up at 3:30 in the morning and only rarely going back to sleep.
We are exhausted. Descartes is sound asleep on the couch..has been for a few hours. I folded laundry for 45 minutes just now, trying to get everything washed an packed by tomorrow night, since we are gong to a holiday party on Friday evening, then leaving early on Saturday for SoCal.
Things I did this week because I am so worried about Jake:
- be in serious denial
- ate candy
- poured myself a cup of Southern Comfort and Amaretto (don't knock it till you try it) last night at 11:30pm
- highlighted my hair, at home, after a cup of SoCo and Amaretto, when it didn't really need to be highlighted, since my hair is fairly blonde naturally.
- completely forgot to thank profusely everyone who volunteered to help me last weekend when I went away, and this morning when we needed to go to hospital ("go to hospital"? what am I a Brit?)
- neglected every single task for Can I Sit With You? Please go visit the site..please submit your own stories. We are fast approaching a commitment to do a second book. If you submit your story it could be in there!
- fixed my lame overly processed clearly highlighted-while-drinking hair with "low lights"
- ate pasta four times.
- made dough for Pfeffernüsse ,
- ate some lasagna.
- talked to my sister for several hours.
- bought hundreds of dollars worth of new cell phones..the kind that I can really use to do email. Merry Christmas.
- left our Holiday card unfinished.
- went to Target three times and bought, and bought and bought.
- neglected to write anything worth reading by any one.
