Sick Day part 2

Sent Misterpher off to school today. Looked after the Elfinator. Stopped by the women's shelter thrift store to drop off some hotel size toiletries. (BTW, they prefer full-size containers because their clients don't want to feel transient. They want to feel a sense of permanence. Makes sense to me.) Stopped by Pita King for shawarma meat and other sundries. Elfinator and the Girl unloaded about 900 pieces of Mediterranean candies into their "I want the Blue" shopping basket." I paid and unloaded the basket. We made it home in time to wonder what E did with a dozen baby pitas (Nothing, I had moved that bag out of the way). E was upset with me when i removed teh Roma tomato from his hand. Seems he was hell-bent on showing it to me and then takinga bites from it. I took it from him with teh explanation that he had already bitten into two apples, I didn't think a tomato was goingto pass muster. He is taller than I thought and retrieved it from the shelf. Um, yikes.

WJ stopped by with M and Bina for a child exchange. E stood for a few seconds and wavered. So, WJ missed out on a gyro lunch, but we hope E made his nap.

Later in the day, M complained of his ear hurting. No real surprise since he's been battling congestion this week. I rememeberd my favorite natural medicine book and discovered I was on the right track with giving him homeopathic Belladonna for his ear. I also found some massage techniques to help.

But what happens with Homeopathy is that you go through a healing crisis and that pissed M off. But, he wanted to go to sleep, which is nigh on to impossible with an ear ache, he wanted to go to sleep before 6pm! I had to wake hime up, but come time to really go to sleep, he's fine. Only woke up to go pee.

So for you naysayers and skeptic, homepathy is a grand and beautiful thing.

And yes, the boy will be going to school tomorrow.
