Alex seemed much better as the day wore on yesterday. She ate a fair serving of crackers for lunch and just in general had more energy and animation. At dinnertime I offered her white rice, jello, and a few slices of Colin's banana. She seemed well enough that I mentally rehearsed my arguments for why she couldn't have any of our steak, but instead she just picked at the rice and left most of her food on her plate. Her lack of appetite worried me, but I still thought she might be well enough to go to school today. After all the morning session is just three hours long.

Around 7:45 I gave her a ten-minutes-to-bedtime warning. "How about now?" she asked. Uh oh.

At 11pm she cried out. I went in and she was thrashing wildly, crying and saying things that didn't make any sense. She threw up on her pillow - but mercifully not her hair or nightgown - whimpered "I don't feel good," and went back to sleep.

So, back to square one. This morning she seems perky again, but I've got her back on clear liquids only. I hope she's well enough for the Halloween festivities tomorrow and Saturday.

How about dancing weasles in little sequined tailcoats? With chainsaws?

Have I ever found this kind of thing funny?

I recall you being amused by tropical yaks.
