This and that on a Sunday morning...
It seems very quiet in my corner of DW land, which fits how quiet life is around here this weekend. Yesterday we took the cardboard and paper recyclables to the center, picked up lunch to take home, and spent the rest of the day parked in front of the TV, because it was still rather raw and cold outside, which made it feel chilly around the edges inside. We're definitely following Boom's example of aggressive laziness this weekend.
"As well you should, Mommy."
Today is grocery shopping, then more TV watching, and, perhaps if it gets as warm as the forecast promises, some wandering around in the yard to see if there's any signs of spring other than daffodil leaves, which always start poking up in January (and sometimes December). When I stepped outside with Boom this morning, there was a distinct scent of skunk wafting through the air. That's a harbinger of spring that no one really celebrates. :P
My face is looking and, more importantly, feeling a bit more normal now. The infection seems to have cleared, but it's still a little itchy and red in places. I plan to use the steroid cream for a couple more days, then wean off of it and see what happens. I'll get the single stitch removed on Wednesday, which will be nice. It's been adding a bit to the itching. Thankfully no sign of infection there, either.
I guess today is Groundhog Day. Such a weird and silly custom, honestly, but I suppose we're all so sick of winter by this point that we're desperate for any sign of spring, enough to yank a poor hibernating groundhog from its den to make it see if it's sunny or cloudy. Humanity is a puzzle sometimes. Most times.
Happy Sunday, all.
