It’s the Least Wonderful Time of the Year

      No Comments on It’s the Least Wonderful Time of the Year

lrfcbmtzAt the end of last week, we had the worst, but most expected text message of any new school year — someone in the class has head lice.

Fuck.

So of course, that means checking the girls. And, of course, both seem to have a few bits of grodity. Sigh. I’m sort of relieved though, because seeing something means I can do something. And because this time we caught it early enough that it should be done and dusted in a day or two (though I’ll comb for the next week just to make VERY sure). I’m just terrified because I’m really, really susceptible to it, and my hair is a couple of feet long. Like, 32 inches long. I didn’t catch it last time, and I probably won’t catch it this time either, but still. I’ve combed everyone else and Z is trying to peek through mine right now, so hopefully I can convince myself that all is well and have a good night’s sleep. In the guest bed. Z and Littlerbit have folded out the couch until we can get all the bedding through tomorrow. The joys of parenthood, neh?

 

Fake Fakety Fake

Y’all will remember that we got a Pokéwalker a few weeks ago. I’ve been frustrated because I couldn’t get it to work, so I asked Z to give it a try. What we found out instead is that the HeartGold cartridge is probably a fake. That would explain why it wouldn’t connect (no IR chip), and why it was constantly crashing out. So I guess I’m once again on the hunt for an authentic copy of that, and SoulSilver as well. It’s just that the price on them has gone through the roof… scarcity, I guess? :/

There were other things that I was thinking about writing on, but that can wait until a time when I’m not climbing the walls because of lice. Later!
