So – to recap: baby vomit. Pediatrician. All seemed ok. Back to daycare the next day, but only for 2 hours before I got a call saying, “She’s still got some digestive issues”. Mom came to help. I get sick in the night. The Boy gets home from a business trip. H comes over so […]

Personal – Taking a Deep Breath
I feel like I have been running myself ragged the last few days. Obviously, I didn’t write a post for Friday. I had meant to do that on Thursday, but then our sweet Baby girl woke up screaming and twitching with what I think was a febrile seizure, and a fever that was confirmed later. […]
Science – Have You Had Your Flu Shot?
As someone who studied life sciences for 4 years in college before turning to the social sciences in grad school, I feel like I have slightly more authority than your average librarian when I say that you should get your flu shot. Vaccines have been proven to work, so this is not really up for […]
Personal – A Month of Daycare
As of now, my baby has been in daycare for a month. We got her into a place near our neighborhood, and it has turned out really well in general. The teachers are terrific, and it feels strange to find myself going, “Wow – daycare is so cheap!” but compared to the price of a […]
Personal – What Does Bedtime Look Like In Our House?
What does bedtime look like in the house of people with an older infant? For about 7 and a half weeks now, we have been in a routine at bedtime. It’s a fairly strict routine, and it doesn’t always make sleep perfect, but it’s one that has generally worked for us. Before that, things were […]
Personal – Sleepy
I’ve made some poor choices lately. Some of them are related to getting super into my new farming game (Stardew Valley – you are SO ADDICTIVE). But mostly it’s about self control – even with Stardew Valley – but that self-control is related to when I should be going to bed. For a few years […]
Personal – Time Management and Emotional Stress
I’m having a bit of a problem, and the biggest part of my problem is my own creation. You see, I’m a procrastinator. None of this is new. Not to me, not to you who have been joining me on this blogging journey for more than a year. If I have a big project, chances […]
Personal – Resolutions and January Challenges
First off, I’ve mentioned my resolutions for this year a couple times – that is, to finish projects instead of just letting them go undone. But in addition to that, I’ve taken on two challenges for January, even if I’m not doing particularly well with them. But they’re the kind of challenges that I’m going […]
App – Clue
If you’re a dude reading my blog and you’re not interested in hearing about periods, suck it up. Periods are a part of regular life for women, and whether or not they’re annoying, messy, inconvenient, or squick you out, they are something that 50% of the population deals with (past, present or future tense) for […]
Personal – The Little PC
I’m a fair person. I’ve always been the kid in the class picture whose paleness was blinding. I burn, I freckle. There is no tanning for me. I like to tell people that my two colors are white and red, and I vacillate between the two each summer or anytime I go outside. I have gotten a […]
