Things

I have had a headache, an upset stomach and mild but unrelenting kidney pain for several days. 

Angelfish has a body-wracking cough.  I give her nebulizer treatments at bedtime, and during bad nights like last night, around 2 a.m.  The looks of betrayal when I hold her little arms down when all she wants to do is getthemaskoffgetitoffgetitoffnow are brutal. Also, as a result, I'm not sleeping well.

Hurricane Irene is due here eventually.  My street always floods in a storm.  The best I can pray for is that we don't lose power (for very long anyway) and that the flood waters don't destroy my car or basement. 

They cancelled Bullshark's flight home from where he touched down in CONUS. He was due in tonight.  I have no idea when he'll get home now.  He's at airport trying to work that out. Oh, and he just got a call from his father saying his mom is in the hospital. Yeah, ok... I think Bullshark is having a shittier day than I am.
