Bullet points of doom

(If you can get through the MUSH stuff, it gets less geeky)

- Helped run a Hatching on Friday for the first time since um – well ’98, personally, I think.

- the dragon-making code blew up ’cause the builder was out of marks and the person who wrote the code never thought of that possibility (not me, however, I never thought of it either, so there you go)

- however I do blame the late dragon-creation moment on the code, since it locks the dragons to the people running them, so it’s a good idea to ensure those people are like, showing up.

- hand-coded the dragons just before & during the Hatching; fortuately I screwed up enough of them in 94-98 that apparently, I can do that (with the help of @decompile and a few other tricks)

- 2/3 through the Hatching, from the bedroom: Mummy, I NEED A BOWL

- 3 hours of vomiting every 20 min ensued. While Carl was in the middle of an upgrade at work. So we, TERRIBLE PARENTS, passed him back and forth IN FRONT OF OUR KEYBOARDS. With a bowl in between.

- All dragons were Hatched and Impressed with few incidents. Whee! However, was easier pre-child.

- Noah has now officially attended his first Hatching. he can apparently read the word “green”

- Noah got to sleep around 2; up at 6

- 2.5 more hrs of vomiting

- red rash came Sat afternoon. Fever and itchy throughout weekend. Thank god for DVDs. and Play-dough.

- two more nights of little sleep ensued. Upgrade at Carl’s work continued. BTW Carl’s team had layoffs last week and we’ll see if he makes it through the post-upgrade period

- Monday, rash was fading. Stayed home, took day off work. Monday night, well, 2:30 am Tues: Mummy, my ear hurts. Carl worked from home today.

- First appointment available today: 7:45 pm

- 1 hr ago: first dose of antibiotics. Will work from home tomorrow. Am experiencing job angst as a result.

- Hope do not experience layoffs in either job

- going to bed now
