I should really be in the bath right now.

There is some kind of awful cold going around. That's the trouble with this fall weather, no? It just breeds viruses. It's hard to hate warm, sunshine-y days but the mornings are cold and so are the nights so we're forever over or under dressing.

I can feel just the slightest bit of something or other trying to attack my immune system and I have spent much of today trying to talk myself *out* of getting sick.

I go to the doctor this Wednesday. I should get my bloodwork results as well as the ultrasoun results. I'm not really nervous. More annoyed and anxious. My best case scenario is that my uterus has prolapsed and I require surgery. I don't have time for more tests and more "investigating". My doctor hates it when I say that (last time, during a pelvic exam that wasn't going very well he told me that I had to take as good a care of myself as I do my son..he actually wagged his finger at me) but it's just the truth.

So, for as fucked up as it sounds, I'm hoping for a hysterectomy.

Tomorrow is a PA day. All three kids are home. I cancelled Julian's appointment with the OT because my friend, Sarah, who was supposed to watch my girls while I took Julian is sick. I was actually a bit relieved. I normally don't book appointments on school holidays or PA days because it tends to be too much for all of the kids, especially Julian.

Their Dad has a birthday coming up so I will take them shopping.

They have a party to go to next weekend so I will be looking for new jammies for Julian to wear. I had a big fight with Troy about said party earlier today but I'm too tired to go over the gory details.

Maybe some other day.

Before I sign off, I have a question.

What is your opinion on shirts or hoodies that in some way or another mention Autism? Good way to raise awareness or not? Good way to identify Julian in uncomfortable situations or not?

I will leave you with one I saw on Cafe Press this afternoon. I really, really, REALLY want to wear it to nursery school...
