Plague week continues

The monkey is still sick, and I'm starting to worry a little bit. She's been throwing up since Wednesday evening, and now seems to have added the other end to her repertoire of yucky excretions. She's had a low-grade fever since Thursday. We've been socking the pedialyte to her, and she's been able to nurse and keep it down for the last couple of days, so it's not dire, but I don't like that it's still going on. I'm going to try to get her in to see her doctor tomorrow morning.

Her daddy has been sick since yesterday too - apparently the norovirus is going around again, and it certainly seems to fit the symptoms they both have. So far, I'm okay - I'll probably start to feel sick tomorrow morning, just in time for Andrew to go back to work.

Anyway, all of this sickness has precluded our trip to IKEA to set up my home office, which is a little bit disappointing. All of my stock arrived on Friday, and I've been just itching to unpack it all and see what wonders there are in those three big boxes, but without anywhere to put the contents, opening up and sorting through boxes of beads seems like an invitation for the monkey to try and choke herself to death. Given that I've spent the last four nights sleeping on her floor to prevent just such an occurrence, I think I'll wait a little longer. The orders I have on deck can be done once she's asleep tonight (if I can get her to bed at a decent hour - last night it was 10:30 pm before she'd go down!) and then I can close the boxes back up.

The monkey is currently clutching at my ankle and having a little cry - she's really tired, but fought sleep for the entire 45 minutes that I tried to put her down this morning. It's been 15 minutes or so, and she's had a good nursing session, so I'm going to try to put her down again.
