A friend had sent me a note about a Liam Finn concert in
Nashville. No matter how much I tried to get it to work, it came down to two
issues: harassing Boop in the car or flying. Bless her heart, these long trips
in the car seat are sheer torture for her. And the option of flying still will
involve a pretty good drive to the airport, then the cost of the plane ticket,
a dogsitter, etc. It would have also
been nice to meet up with my Mom and her sisters for a long weekend vacay a few
hours away. I just couldn’t get it to work.

And then another scare with a high temp for Boop. It was
still early enough to run to Urgent Care and not have to go to the ER. We got
right in, they did a cath and checked her ears. Fortunately, everything looked
good. Probably a virus she picked up from one of the kids from daycare or from
the event at S’s farm on Saturday. Such a relief. So, we came home, and I gave
her some Motrin. She’s sleeping, now, thank goodness, something she hasn’t been
able to do all day!
All of this made me think about things I shouldn’t think
about. My little munchkin, how attached I am. God forbid anything happen to
her. Although she’s turned my life upside down, I wouldn’t have it any other
way. What would I do without her? What if something awful should happen? I think
about the stairs, about her trying to stand on the marble floors, about… Best
not to stay there. A million things
could happen.
