- Stuck to my points (but just barely) even though it was my birthday
- Lost just shy of 2 pounds (1.9, that totally rounds up)
- Exercised twice
Unfortunately we are being plagued by minor health issues. I cracked a tooth (my left lower wisdom tooth, already a shell from a giant cavity years ago -- my wisdom teeth are the only ones with cavities) and will probably have to have it pulled, so I am unexpectedly going to the dentist tomorrow.
This afternoon after his nap, Jasper started throwing up, and wasn't able to keep anything down for several hours. We went way minimal and started doing the teaspoon of water every 10 minutes once he hadn't thrown up for an hour, and now he hasn't (knock wood) thrown up in almost 2 hours. I let him nurse a little bit, and now we're trying to get him to sleep for a while. If he can manage that, we can start him on something a little more substantial, though still liquid. Probably thinned out yogurt or something.
It is really hard for me to see him so upset. When he was being sick, he just looked betrayed, bewildered. He doesn't understand what it means to vomit, only that it sucks. And then being denied food and drink on top of it... he hasn't had food since lunchtime and he threw all of that up. He is tired and hungry and sick and even though he was a trooper this evening, I am sure he has about had it. It was such a relief to nurse him because I was able to just give him what he needed for a minute; I could feel the relief in my own body. I hope he'll sleep for a little while.
So we are all embroiled in that. I made a delicious dinner, and toph and I really enjoyed it, though I felt terrible that we had to keep telling Jasper he couldn't have any of it.
Dinner:
Sauteed chicken sausage, kale, shallot, and roasted red peppers, simmered in marinara with lemon peel, over soft polenta, with a little parmesan on top. SO good.
