H and the kids just walked to the pier. I'm watching the Olympics while getting ready for the day. Guessing we will do pool, beach, brewery on the water for a drink and snack, pool again.... Are you having any fun? Having a good time other than the tornado, luckily.

tgrimes, ugh! It's miserable trying to get a kid to take medicine they don't want! Not sure these would help but a couple things I use at work are medicine races where he has to race you to see who will take theirs fastest (obviously you'd use something other than his medicine. Another thing we use are plastic tounge depressors that are flavored... You suck on the thing to get the flavor, take the medicine quickly and put it back in your mouth to get rid of gross flavor. I wonder if you could do similar with a hard candy you could get in his mouth for a couple seconds? Like a candy cane type candy so he doesn't choke?

It seems like a no-brainer that by now all kids medicine should be able to taste like bubble gum or something desirable.

Today probably mostly hanging by the pool and maybe going to the lake again. We might ride go-karts and check out about a rope course and ziplines.

So a manager on another team that I work with who is an antivax-er and anti-masker caught covid. He is still adamant that the vaccine and masks aren’t necessary. Because of the team he’s on and other things he has to bring a note from a doctor clearing him to work. Well hopefully for his sake he has a mild case..but i he is quarantining properly until he's cleared to come back. I guess with delta spreading so fast, it will find these people and give them some immune protection faster... assuming they recover okay. My work place is not playing, vaxx required to be on campus with proof uploaded. We got bonus days of PTO as an incentive as well. Mh's office is encouraging it but not required, it's not great. He is supposed to go back in September.

Well, I took Cadence to my mom's yesterday. My mom wouldn't hear of her not coming. She is going to monitor her in case anything pops up. I'm monitoring myself as well, but I'm fine thus far.
I have my endoscopy tomorrow at 12:30, but have to be there an hour ahead of time. Fun fun

tgrimes do you have a compounding pharmacy close that could potentially flavor the medicine?

We went to target and got all of Evie's school supplies today, spending a small fortune. Also grabbed her 2 dresses so she can pick what she wants to wear to my nephews wedding in 2 weeks. She has spent an hour going through everything, trying to figure out where to put it in her backpack, etc, even though I told her we would go through it again later, plus we should have back to school night this year.

Hi.
We had a good day so far. My neighbor texted me about going to this craft fair so I went with her and spent money. I got some earrings, bath bombs for the kids, a bracelet for M2, and cookies. It was nice and then the boys and her husband and daughter met us for lunch. I need to go back out to fill up my tank and grab a few things at Sam’s for the week. It’s raining though, but should just pass over, so I’ll leave when it stops.

tallb I’m sorry about your grandmother. tgrimes what about cutting the middle out of a marshmallow and putting the meds in that? Or could you get it in a crushable pill? If so, then you could crush and wrap in a fruit roll up or sprinkle it with some ice cream.

Today at work sucked.
Trigger warning………
There was a domestic dispute at one of our areas. The man was arrested. The LE brought the couple to the office to fingerprint and process the man before taking him to jail. They brought the woman into my office and had me talking to her to see if she would tell us anything. She wouldn’t admit to any abuse, she just cried and asked for him. But she was very clearly battered. She was scared of him being mad at her for crying. We tried our local victims advocate who is worthless, to get some help. Tried a few shelters, but no one could help. So when it was all said and done, he went to jail. She will probably be back with him tomorrow. Come to find out 2 years ago MH arrested him for the same thing. She jumped out of the moving car 3 different times then. It’s a sad situation, meth is involved, and we feel helpless.

I think evie has felt better then she usually does the morning following shot night, so we may continue shots in the AM. She felt pretty nauseous a few times, but we always have zofran. She seems to have had more energy throughout the day. Guess we will see how tonight goes.
She was funny this morning when we did it. We did it real quick while H was in the shower, like less than 1 minute start to finish. Then when he got out, I told him to go ask her when she wanted to do it. She pretended to start to cry, saying she didn't want to do it, trying to negotiate doing it later in the day, H was getting annoyed and pulled her blanket down...to find her band aid. Her and I both laughed a lot.
H was not amused with our prank.

lfig I have some marshmallows, But I don’t think those are allowed with his stitches. I’ll message the ent. My sister talked to H via FaceTime earlier today. She told hi to call her when he took his meds because she didn’t think he could do it. He took a shot of it and then chased it with sprite. We will now be calling Aunt Amanda 3x a day for the next 7 days. Lol.

Pool and Olympics time. Cassidy's swim skills have grown tremendously in the past few days. Makes me happy because it's an essential skill to me.
