Funk: Day 5
Lately, I've had nothing to write about except the chronicles of my sick household. The short version: We're all still sick. I felt better today, but my cough is probably lingering a while. Kailyn's still running a fever (went up to 103 tonight, then fell quickly after a dose of ibuprofen). Zachary now has a fever, too (101). Oh, much fun in my household these days.
I'll tell you this...there's nothing more depressing than a 3-year-old with a fever. Instead of being a happy-bounce-off-the-walls kid, all Kailyn wants to do (until the medicine kicks in) is sleep on the couch and moan. I really hate it for her when she feels like that. Zachary isn't much better. He can't tell us what's wrong, so he just sits there and cries softly while staring at you as if pleading for help.
If they're still this way tomorrow, it looks like I'll be making a trip to their doctor. More fun. Nothing like sitting in a waiting room full of sick kids.
But enough sick talk.
On the culinary side of life, we now are the proud owners of a nice set of pots and pans. Yes, this is big news for a family like mine who has been using various pieces of stained and burned pots and pans ever since we got married in 1998. We've been talking about correcting this situation for about 8 years now, so it's nice that it's finally happened (thanks to a great sale on Amazon.com). The new set (a 13-piece hard anodized, non-stick set by Cuisinart) is much nicer than the no-name, garage-sale junk we've used so far. It's like upgrading from Emerson to Sony...from Yugo to Mercedes...from DOS to Windows XP... from Atari to XBOX... from Sam's Choice to Coca-Cola...
Is such news blog-worthy? Probably not. But I'll take whatever good news I can get this week.
...
In other news, the subwoofer for the church was supposed to arrive today, I think, but nada. I guess it will get here tomorrow. 900 watts pumping through 18" of Mackie goodness. (Insert Homer Simpson drooling noise here). Hopefully, this subwoofer will correct the 'factory stereo' sound we've been living with for the past 3 years. I think the whole band is pretty excited about this development. I just hope we can get it set up by Sunday a.m.
