Leyla got Hand Foot Mouth Disease again last week.... guess who got it this week. 
Monday and Tuesday with the worst headache in a long time, 39.7 fever. Vomit, Nausea.
Wake up Weds with my hands and feet with the red dots with an infernal itch that doesn't stuck.
At least my fucking face was spared.
Got to work from home this week though... so.... nothing left to watch on my PVR

My husband's low key attitude is part of why I love him so much. We balance each other well, and he helps calm my anxiety. He makes our home a comforting, safe, and fun place. We worry about completely different things and can therefore help keep one another calm. I've never known someone as supportive, caring, and attentive to another person's needs.
In spite of all this, I just wish that I could see him really excited or really moved more often. He's so even keel that he can actually deflate people who are high energy. I guess that's the trade-off. He was raised by a low-key, don't-show-emotion, don't-burden-anyone kind of dad. They're very different, but the apple can only fall so far from the tree. At the end of the day, I wouldn't trade him for anyone. Just one of those days.

I admire your willpower. If that were me, they'd be gone by now.
He's got Squidley to distract him. Those Pringles are, in fact, the only edible thing they have in the house, but he hasn't noticed yet.

Hey, if you were going to make an account here, you should've told me.
Just kidding, but very well could be. Did you tell him? My wife tells me all the time. I try, but it's a hard habit to break.

I don't know that it would be fair to talk to him about this and expect a change. It's who he is, and I chose him. I don't think of that part of him as a habit to break--just a trait. Usually it doesn't bother me at all. He's so completely accepting of me, warts and all, that I want to do the same for him. I don't really wish he would change. It's just that, like anyone in a relationship, there are occasions when I'm focusing too much on what he is not.
No kidding, Fade. For a moment, I thought Kati had finally gone and made an account.
And yes, she does tell me.

Upgraded from office 2010 to 2013... Excel is sweet, word is solid but what the fuck Microsoft.... Outlook is terrible. Who fucken designed this shit? I just spent no less than 3 hours configuring the shit out of it and it still sucks hard.
Thankfully I can opt to use Office 2010.

My grandmother is in the hospital. They don't expect her to live through the night.
She's from the estranged side of my family, but she was one of the people from that side of the family that I actually liked. She was a librarian and I recently realized why I'm so much better read and academically curious than most of the people in my family. It has everything to do with staying with her after school at the local library sitting on the floor reading books.
I'm sad about losing her, but I'm probably more mad at my father for being an asshole and causing me to have to avoid family gatherings with her.
She's 94, but last time I talked to her, she was still sharp as a whip. I'm just happy that I got a chance to see her recently to let her know that I was going to college and thank her for everything she's done for me.
Eat a dick, old age.
But, how's this for shitty timing. I just got back from visiting my home town literally twenty minutes before he called me. Had he called me yesterday when she started having problems, I'd have been able to be there to say goodbye.
Fuck my dad.

Excel 2013 it really good though, just whoever the fuck designed Outlook 2013 to be either white on white trash or I'm depressed, kill me light grey can go fuck himself.
And I can't even find any themes to make it look like a previous version.
Fuckers.
So many fun rat problems tonight!
Valkyrie: got in a fight with another rat. No idea who, but I can tell Valkyrie lost--there's a bite and scratch on her tail, and she's holding her right arm against her body, not putting weight on it. I cleaned the wound, but I can't make her sit still to let the limb rest; if I put her in an enclosed space, she's the one rat who will freak and thrash.
Athena: Self-inflicted scratch on her eye got crusty again; had to clean it too. She wasn't happy.
Eos: nothing wrong with her, but she keeps trying to climb onto Valkyrie to make her sit still and that's only hurting more. Had to make her stop, now she's sulking.
Artemis: After dealing with the other three, I went to the rat who wasn't having/causing problems, petted her, and kissed her on the head ...
... where I discovered one of the other rats had pissed on her to show dominance.

But then that's also punishing herself, husband, and son.
Tell her to git gud?
How did you handle this when she was doing it for Mario Kart 8?This is what I did tonight, but...
I do always tell her to git gud, but in a nicer way.Tell her to git gud?
Also she's been throwing these fits for YEARS. I'd blame the age, except at some point I feel like she should start to know better, and 9 is getting to a point where when we've been gaming as a family for years I clearly need to find a new solution.I know, and there's times where punishing the kid ends up punishing the parents, too, and sometimes you just have to do it.
