1. Mikaela's burn - she chased the cat under the car two weeks ago today. Chris called me up at work and said "There's been a change of plan for the afternoon. I'm going to the hospital." It's not really a dreadful burn - not as bad as I first thought when he called - but she is still having dressing changes every few days (and improvement from every 1-2 days though), and when I asked the nurse on Sunday how long she thought it would be before Kaely could swim again - would she, for instance, be okay for the summer swim school starting in 3 weeks time - the answer was "maybe". So it's bad enough.
2. The vegie garden. A week or so ago I planted out my third attempt at a zucchini plant for the season. So far so good. I planted it inside a half buried ice cream container with the bottom cut out, and have been spraying with cold black coffee. It's been a little bit eaten, but it's still going, whereas the last two plants were eaten within couple of days.
3. The baby! I am now officially into the third trimester, and I can really tell. I also had a long post about how much I do not like people commenting on my size (or the supposed size of the baby), how this is a common complaint of pregnant women (be they larger or smaller) and how I just don't get why people think it's suddenly okay to make comments like "Oh, you're huge!" (on hearing you're not due for a couple of months), just because you're pregnant. Why?
4. My birthday, which was a crappy day (except for the middle part where my cousin threw me a little birthday party with our three little girls, complete with fairy bread and everything), mostly because I was tired and crabby & so were the kids, but maybe, just maybe, because my very, very dear friend was having a miscarriage, although I didn't know it at the time.
5. My lovely friend and how sad I am for her right now (except I don't tend to blog about other people's stuff so much anyway, so I probably wouldn't say any more than that).
6. The fact that despite it being summer - really, truely, 36 degree Celcius type summer - I have another cold (via Liam) and a sore throat. Why?! Also my iron is right down again, so I am taking an iron supplement. But maybe that answers the why question.
7. Liam's school play, Christmas festival, and move to their class two classroom two days before the end of term (which was last Friday).
But right now I have to go to bed, so more detail on any of that will have to wait, probably indefinitely.
