It's been a rough week. Pooh got an
ear infection that manifested itself
all Mon night. The Dr. gave her a penicillin
shot on Tues. but on being checked
on Fri, she still had it. Yesterday morning,
she raised the roof for about two
hours with another earache. The doctor
prescribed 12 doses (1tsp) of some
penecillin stuff that looks and tastes
like orange pop (for $4.00?!). Pooh
absolutely refuses to consider it, straight
or camoflaged, so we administer
it with duress. Must be working tho,
because today she'll let me touch
her ear. Last night, I came down
with something, too. I have just today
to kick it in, & thru a horrible short
week ahead, containing 2 wks. work.

The Christmas cards are half-
addressed, the shopping half-done,
& nothing is wrapped. Be expecting
some packages, some time around
Christmas or New Year.
