time to sleep

it's days like these i feel like crawling under a rock and closing my eyes and just letting the world zoom by.

Chewie had his vaccinations this week, so he's been very clingy and needy and feverish as his body reacts to the shots. On top of that, i've had my head stuffed with cotton balls. Well, not literally, but it certainly feels that way. Who gets a frakkin' cold in the summer anyway? MUTHAFUCKA!

So, i started back to work yesterday and it was a sad day for me...more so than Chewie. See, daycare has a puppy so i was chopped liver. Meh. I cried all the way to the office and took a walk down by the river to collect myself and just breathe.

Work is work. Not much has changed.

Last night Chewie was up at various times in the night, fighting his fever and general yuckiness. I spent most of the night rocking him back and forth in the rocking chair. He would sleep, but only on my chest. Me, not so much in the sleep department, as you can imagine.

I got very little sleep - which only exacerbated the cold, and with Chewie still sickly and me still sickly, i called in sick on my second day back to work. I know, right? But what can you do?

i finally got the little gaffer to sleep around 6, and i slept for an hour and then got up at 7 to call daycare, went back to sleep and then i got a text from my littlest brother, Willy Billy McNilly, saying that Stef (his girlfriend) was going into the hospital. She was in labour.

Also, my mom and dad sold their house in SmallTown and are moving into the city, and they got possession of their new house today - but as they're out of town on vacation - i had to go and do the walk through with the realtor and get the keys...

but BEFORE THAT happened, i got a phone call from B-rad who informed me he was going to the doctor because he had a metal shard in his eye. Well, a metal sliver anyway...

He took the rest of the afternoon off after he returned his brothers truck i picked him up from work and we went to get the keys for mom and dad's house, then picked up lunch for my brother and went to the hospital - essentially to hand off the sandwhich - and then went home...

i am. exhausted.

B-rad's eye will be fine, by the way. It's very painful and red and watery, sensitive to light.
with all these things piling up on top of me, i feel very much like the universe or something was really glad i took the day off. Not much of a resting day for me, though.

Also, Chewie is - well, still clingy and needy, but the fever is gone and he's generally happy.
