Yes, I've been totally slacking, blogwise


Sorry, but I've been busy. Also, sick. Like hacking, wheezing, passed out, gallons of mucus, sweating out a fever sick.

The busy part was scouring the internet for album cover art. Because if I don't have album cover art for a particular song, it shows an ugly blank page when it plays on my iPhone. And that just... bugs me. But I found almost all of them, and since most of the music I listen to is at least thirty years old, that was quite a feat!

BTW, I've discovered that a lot of music is fine to listen to as background noise on iTunes while I'm reading stuff online, but when it's being drilled directly into my head via earbuds... eh, not so much. So I've been ruthlessly deleting songs from my playlist. Over 400 gone out of about three thousand so far.

Yes, fascinating, I know. Moving on...

Britt hasn't been sick, but she does have a nasty paronychia on her index finger. I took her to the minor emergency center today to have it lanced and get some antibiotics, and she was very brave.

In other news, it was really cold and icy here last week. By the time the weather finally warmed up a little, Britt was suffering from cabin fever and itching to go outside and play. But first she tried to scrub some "pisgusting stuff" off her "gwubs."

And then she put them on all by herself first the first time ever! With her fingers in all the right spaces and everything!

So proud!

The other day I fixed her a hot dog for dinner while she danced around my feet singing something about "fishy dog, fishy dog." I told her nope, there's no fish in it. And then she stood stock still as a more disturbing possibility occurred to her. With big eyes, she asked, "Is it... from a dog?"

And then I died. The end.
