fleaWhile Casper was sick, I sort of forgot how energetic she is. Well, she's better now, and back to grins and mischief. Current concern is the cat, who instead of sensibly running away when Casper clambers over towards her with "must pet kitty" on the brain, turns on her stomach and raises paw in preparation for the bitch-slap. Silly kitty - if you whack the baby it will make the baby cry (loud noise, not pleasant for you) and will make the grownups angry. Learn to run away! You have lots of safe spaces. I suppose they will have to just sort it out. (mr. flea has an irrational fear that kitty will attempt to disembowel baby, or lacerate her eyeball or somesuch, but frankly I think if it came to it the cat is in more danger.)
Still not very interested in eating, perhaps on a lag from the illness? I suppose she is adequately nourished by milk and doesn't look skinny or anything, but she was such a gloriously enthusiastic eater and now it's two bits (or none) and sticking out the tongue in protest.
I read a book last night! Or part of one. Okay, it was a comic book (Doonesbury, The Search for Reagan's Brain, in honor of our late lamented), but still! Yesterday was my first day of taking the afternoon off the stay home with baby - partly to have baby playtime and partly to allow mr. flea more working hours. I had a good nap and feel great today. Sign that a 5 hour day really would be an ideal schedule for me. Some day.
Current fret: mr. flea goes out of town for a week, in 2 weeks (another rassin' frassin' National Laboratory. Stinkin' federales). Backup!nanny is moving back to CA, and we have no backup!backup!nanny. I don't want to stay home the entire time not covered by new!nanny, as that would be a lot (1 to 1.5 hours M, Th, F, plus all day Tues and W am.) What to do? Must scour social network for new backup!nanny.
