End of the Day Status

2012-12-23Uncategorized Standard

Just a quick update on where things stand now that Dec 23rd is drawing to a close: Bjarki slept throughout the day, but became somewhat coherent around dinner-time. His stomach rebelled once (not terribly surprising given that all he’s had pretty much all day is Gatorade – he’s been too sleepy for much more thanRead more

Health? What health?!!

2012-12-23Uncategorized Standard

It’s the day before Christmas and Bjarki’s been asleep since 10 am (it’s now almost 3 pm) with a fever of 39.3°C (102.7°F). It seems to be a plain old virus because he isn’t complaining of any particular pains, he’s just out cold (or hot). I’m hoping all this sleeping means he’ll be right asRead more

Friday-Before-Christmas Snapshots

2012-12-21Uncategorized Standard

[Written 23 December 2012] Just three little photos from the Friday before Christmas: We finished the day by eating fantastic food at Holla and Óli’s (who now have a new kitchen! Yay!), but took no pictures. Boo!Read more

On a Short Leash

2012-12-20Uncategorized Standard

Going from over a week of zero-energy to mostly-full-energy resulted in two very active days. Tuesday was the epic shop-for-four-hours day, and yesterday was absolutely jam-packed from the moment we left the house in the morning until almost midnight. Bizarrely, all of the things on the schedule were enjoyable, the day ran astoundingly smoothly (albeitRead more

The Amazing Power of Penicillin

2012-12-18Uncategorized Standard

Penicillin is awesome when it works. 🙂 Shortly after I took the first pill yesterday, my head started de-fogging and the pressure on my left ear began to dissipate. Sure, I still had a cold, but a cold I can handle – it’s the energy-zapping sleep-inducing head-stuffing I dislike. I slept better than I haveRead more

Yuletide Star – Directions

2012-12-17Uncategorized Standard

UPDATE: Check the comments for directions (regular and a video) in English. 🙂 I got a request on posting directions on how to make the fancy star Anna assembled for herself and Bjarki (who’s said ‘thanks’ now). Sadly I haven’t managed to squeeze the time out of Anna’s busy schedule (of playing with her friends,Read more

Victory?! Let’s Hope So…

2012-12-17Uncategorized Standard

(Sung to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas): “On the twelfth day of my cooold, my GP gave to meeee, lots of peniciiillliiiin”… Yes, my cold finally kicked it up a notch and turned into a (probable) infection yesterday, causing bone-aches on the left side of my face, bad enough to warrant aRead more

Evening Festivities

2012-12-16Uncategorized Standard

It’s Sunday night now, the kids are in bed, and we’ll be hitting the sack shortly I suspect. This has been a weekend of slow days and evening festivities. Last night one of my two sewing clubs had a full blown 16-person (8 couples) sit-down dinner and party at the home of one of us.Read more

Not a Good Combo

2012-12-14Uncategorized Standard

Know what’s not a good combination? A child that has trouble hearing due to endless colds, and a mother with a raspy sore throat. Particularly when said child is home for a whole day and asks questions non-stop. The only upside: Said child is now well informed on how the postal system works.Read more
