The whammy
In the past two weeks Lucie, Nathan and I have gone to seven
doctor's appointments. I'm waiting for a call back to see if I have to
make an eighth. It's a family record.
It's my fault because I was thinking that we have hardly been sick
at all this winter. I temp the gods, and they throw my family the
whammy. Nathan had strep throat on the first visit, an ear infection on
the second, and sinusitis on the third. Lucie -- always a few days
behind -- had viral conjunctivitis on her first visit, an ear infection
on her second, and a continuing eye infection on her third. I just have
a two-week old eye infection.
It's enough to make me believe in the Evil Eye.
