Things I'm processing right now

My niece went to the hospital last night with a high fever. Still haven't heard from my brother. This has happened before, and then it wound up being walking pneumonia, and the got the fever down, loaded her up with antibiotics, and sent her home to rest. I'm hoping the same is true today. I'm trying not to call so they can get some sleep from being in the hospital late at night.

Additionally, my brother managed to blow the head gasket (at least) in his truck on Friday. It's a 1998, and paid off, at least, so now he'll be looking at replacing it, I guess. His happened in the same way as mine did, which was weird. He was driving along, no indication of anything wrong, pulled into work, and his engine started steaming. He opened the hood and the top of his radiator had cracked open from the heat, but, like mine, his gauge didn't register anything was wrong until it was too late. Very not cool.

I just went for the second round of TB testing today. I'll get the results read on Wednesday, but I'm fairly certain I know what the result will be, based on the test from earlier in the summer that was considered "inconclusive" but became very conclusive later. So, there's that.

I think Smog is coming down with a cold (SORRY, KIM!) as he was headachy yesterday and sniffly and stopped up today. I don't really know if it is a cold or one heck of an allergy attack, though. I loaded him up with Sudafed and sent him on his way, though.

I have a blister on my heel from trying to break in new shoes this morning. Ick.

I have a sink full of dishes, a basket full of laundry, and the desire to go sleep for another hour or so, as I'm kind of headachy, too. I think sleep may very well win.

UPDATE

Called Tisha. Nevaeh is home. That got home around 3 in the morning. Doctors think it is a viral infection and gave her some antibiotics.

Tisha said she was doing better.

Thanks for all the prayers and energies!
