Quarantine Log Day Six?

Today was fun, full of fungus and blood.

Turns out, small child is legitimately obsessed with mushrooms! She wants them in every meal. She wants them AS a meal. I’m completely terrified of the consequences tomorrow when she realizes she doesn’t have any more mushrooms…

Please say a prayer for me

I also had a scare when I changed out my cortisol pump site today. It has an auto injector, so I just pull back to lock it in place, and then set it on my stomach, squeeze, and it inserts the cannula for me… Usually a completely painless event.

Today, that was not the case. It hurt like a MOTHER…. Which tells me I’ve hit a vein. It has to be replaced.

So I pull the darn thing out, expecting a bit of blood, but instead had a full blown geyser.

And the only human in the house who can save me from bleeding out is small child. Who has headphones on.

So I’m screaming my fool head off for her to bring to me the coveted toilet paper to stop the bleeding. But I don’t want her to panic either. “Mommy needs the toilet paper NOW, child! I’m bleeding!! But I’m okay! But I need the toilet paper because I’m bleeding!”

Thankfully it only took one square to sufficiently stop my impending death. But that’s one square of toilet paper we will never get back. It broke my heart.

After this massive trauma, small child went right back to her computer, okay my computer which has been commandeered for school work, so she could email her sister, who is still banished to the dungeon.

Tomorrow, she will earn her sweet release.

Neither child was terribly concerned by my near complete loss of blood. They had the internet.

And small child was about to have mushrooms.

We did have one other major adventure today. We made use of the telephone and ordered delivery from our favorite pizza place in town. They make killer Stromboli, and I was desperate to not cook. I really believe it was this that saved my life today.

I also learned that while it is not sacreligous to drink coffee from a Teavana mug, it IS sacreligous to put milk in your tea instead of tea in your milk… Also probably saved my life today.

End transmission.
