Progress and the Fartress

Last night I slept for the first time with my eye not taped shut since 07/11/2010. It was odd. Once you've been taping for 5 months, you get used to it. I have to say, it's more convenient not to tape.

My eye is finally almost perfectly normal again. That, and a little more strength and mobility in my lower right lip are all that remain to finish my healing from Bell's palsy. I hadn't thought it would take this long, but I probably should have taken that first week off of work. Oh, well. If I heal, I'm happy.

Today Spawn built a fartress. It's like a castle kids build with their blankets and such, but this one was a place where she could go to fart freely. Clearly I'm teaching this child a complete lack of manners. Although, rumor has it Bubbles may have been behind the naming of the flatulent resort.

Oh, and we had our first bought of lice about a week ago. Talk about horrifying. I know they're common and they like clean houses and clean hair and just about any kid in public school will get them at some point, but it's still really bad. Bubbles went to town on the hapless bugs, and we haven't seen any sign of them since the first day. Their corpses are all down drains and in the vacuum bag, I'm sure, but we're all still having psychosomatic itching at the mere mention of lice, and Bubbles and I never even got them.
