Odds and Ends

Text from daughter:

11:35:  hear suspicious sound emanating from baby.  Discover major poop blowout.  Take 15 min to clean fallout.   11:50:  lift baby to put on clean outfit and feel tell-tale warmth on butt.  Change diaper again and dress baby.  12:05  Baby becomes fussy.  Discover pee leak-out.  Change diaper and outfit again....
That seems to be my daughter's life right now.  I had forgotten how much a parent's life revolved around a baby's butt...


And back here in Grandma's land the other shoe has dropped:  the furloughs the agency was dodging have proved to be unavoidable and the paycheck is going to shrink painfully each payday for a while. Fa.  Guess that takes care of the kayak I was looking at.   I can use an occasional day off but having the money to do something would be nice.
