I've got a few kinks to work out on switching over to the private blog - so it'll be happening, just not tonight like I thought. Um, ie: paging Howard to the HDW Courtesy Phone.

And I have gotten all of your emails and have been trying to reply to them. I honestly didn't expect as many as I got!

In the meantime, Bug and I went to the doctor's office for me this time. That completely threw him. He was totally puzzled as to why we weren't going to his pediatrician's office (they have a bright purple door and lots of cool stuff to play with), and why instead we were at a boring office building with boring things to do (like, you know, READ).

He insisted on getting weighed and having his blood pressure taken, as well. He dutifully held my hand and assured me I'd be okay, and "don't be scared, mommy" when the nurse practitioner was checking my heart and lungs.

I thought I was going in for a sinus infection. I have been sick since the first part of November with pain under my eyes, my nose, hacking up gross stuff, and a stuffy ear. I've lived, albeit not comfortably. I finally got an appointment that didn't conflict with my grandma visiting or what have you.

She said I have an ear infection, and said, "It's one of the worst I've seen!". And promptly scolded me for not coming in sooner. I only had stuffiness in that ear, not any pain persay.

She also gave me the example of, "You know, does it feel like little men are tapdancing on your ear drums?". My son now wants to know about "those mens in your ear, mommy!" - and looks quite puzzled by the whole thing.

So, here's to 10 days of antibiotics in the form of a pill that's meant for a horse.
