Eww. Human fat?
There's a market for human fat?? http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/11/20/fat.dead.humans.peru/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn

And it sounds like maybe these people were killed FOR their fat. So there's some gang luring fat people into the mountains for harvesting... WTF?

New car seats
Oh good, Eliza's two preposterously expensive car seats are here. She's getting too big for her old seat.... Having a kid is hella-spensive. @_@ Although to be fair, I did buy very expensive seats because they get such great reviews. One of them held up the roof of a car after a three-level parking garage crushed the car and all surrounding cars. XD And the seat was fine... So yeah, that's the seat I want my kid in.

Sick WAAAH.
I am so tired of posting endlessly about how I'm sick or Eliza's sick. Well, I resisted since yesterday morning but... I'm sick. Bleeeah.

I think I maybe have the cold or whatever it was that Eliza had last week. But that started a week ago, so why would it take so long for me to get it?

I don't know. I just know I'm super-tired and totally unable to focus. My husband is weirdly tired too, maybe he's fighting it off. Whine, whine.

As disaster porn goes, 2012 was awfully fun.
Just ignore all the embarassingly bad bits where nothing blows up / collapses / erupts. You know, the actor bits.

Gamer Buglet
Buglet just laboriously rolled her way over to the DVD rack and pulled out a copy of Final Fantasy X for the Playstation. I tried to take it away, she cried.

Current health status of Buglet, Uncle
Buglet is still sick but it's not the flu. Still a mild fever off and on. My husband's taking care of her today and he's going to take her to the pediatrician today to check her ears for infection.

Uncle Johnny's operation went well (WHEW!!!) and his prognosis is good, now! As my mom pointed out, my aunt Sue essentially saved his life by insisting that he go to her doctor for a second opinion. His own doctor had just said "Oh well it's a backache" and didn't even examine him. Sue's doctor is the one that actually spotted this and sent him for follow-up CT scan... and the CT scan people said, basically, "OMG go to the emergency room now!" If it had ruptured he'd have died very quickly.

I hope my coworker's mom has as much luck. She's getting massively risky brain surgery either today or tomorrow. ... yeah, happy Friday the 13th, everybody!

Buglet / uncle health woes.
Hi all, thought I'd give a status update. I was sick last weekend through Tuesday with digestive loveliness.

Then Tuesday night, Buglet was feverish. She'd been coughing a bit, so of course my first thought was, "Flu?" But it seems to not be the flu. According to the pediatrician it's an "unspecified upper-respiratory viral infection" which is doctorese for "looks like a cold, only with fever."

Anyway, I stayed home with her the last two days. My parents gave me a nice break each afternoon too (thank you!) and today my husband is taking a shift. I suspect she won't be going to day care tomorrow either... we'll work that out somehow.

And in far more serious health news, my uncle was rushed to the ER yesterday with a huge abdominal aorta aneurysm (!!!!) Thankfully it hadn't ruptured so his prognosis is OK once they finish surgery. But, scary!
