Gorbulas is doing much better
We brought him for his follow-up. When my husband brought him to the ER last night, they found an ear infection and gave him a one time shot of some super-duper broad spectrum antibiotic. I am not happy about that, My doctor was actually not happy about it either and said it was antibiotic overkill. I do not have a great deal of yogurt in my house and it occured to me I needed some after I came home. Ugh.
My doctor gave us a new nebuliser for the baby. We needed one. Ours is 7 years old and has been through three kids.
I went to Barnes and Noble with my daughter. She picked up a copy of
Mossflower, one of the Redwall series which she loves. I picked up a copy of
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Quilting and Bill O'Reilly's No Spin Zone. I had a hard time finding both, believe it or not. The craft books were in a hidden corner of the store, and the book I was looking for had a middle-aged lady in front of it hopping up over and over again trying to reach a book on a high shelf. I tried nicely to look around her but she wasn't taking the hint, so I scooted under her and snatched the book. I know a big ole "excuse me please?" would have sufficed, but I am weird like that. Fastolph, Rosey-Posey and Gorbulas were with me. With that many munchkins, the idea is to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible before anyone starts to lose it.
The fact the O'Reilly's book was hard to find is odd because it is a New York Times number 1 best seller, but not unpredictable. It is not a self-help, or New Age book which seems to make the front displays at many Barnes and Nobles.
I have been buying a great deal of non-fiction lately because I feel the need to read it. Things like how-to books and so on. Yet reading it is like watching paint dry. With the exception of some theology, I cannot stand non-fiction. My mind wanders, I fall asleep, I get up and walk around. I still haven't finished Parenting with Grace or Square Foot Gardening or Ungodly Rage...
