I used to post a lot of photos here. I thought I’d start again.

This is my son Brendan. In this photo I can just imagine him at age 14.

Getting back to normal

Whatever “normal” is.

Brendan is getting better. He’s breathing well, keeping food down, looking better, seeming happier, and his other symptoms are less severe. He’s back in day care, so we don’t have to beg for help from family and friends so that we can get to work (thanks to Joyce, Carol, Cheyenne, and Nancy). Last night Brendan woke up only once, instead of staying up most every night with unpleasant symptoms I won’t describe here.

The cold that I got (probably brought on mainly by exhaustion) is also better. (Teaching a class at work with a throbbing head cold was lots of fun.) My wife Kirsten has a bad case of the sniffles, but she’s been getting more sleep, so that should go away soon.

With any luck, I should get back to posting here normally very soon.

I’d like to thank everyone who posted a comment or wrote an email to provide support. Your kind words are much appreciated.

that I haven’t been able to do any painting in the last couple of weeks. I can find bits of time to write, but with a two week old baby in the house and a wife recovering from abdominal surgery it’s been virtually impossible to carve out a big enough block of time to paint. Obviously, my priorities are in the right place, but it’s like having an itch you can’t scratch.

Kirsten is feeling better, though, and tonight I’ve worked out a deal with her to take care of Brendan while I paint for a couple of hours. I hope it works out that way.

Update: I got two solid hours on the latest in my “stuff hung on a nail on the wall” series. Ahhhhh…
