state of our union

As the weather around Central Florida warms up, I have succumbed to the common cold. It’s actually a quite mild cold, I just have a scratchy sore throat and bit of congestion. I’m taking Airborne 24-7 now, and getting as much rest as possible.

I was due for my first round of allergy shots today (12 in all!) but due to my illness the torture treatment has been delayed a week. I had to get an EpiPen for the treatments, in case the cure causes me to go into anaphylactic shock, swelling up my throat and choking me to death. Wish me luck!

Kai, on the other hand, has been in good spirits lately. He’s beginning to bounce when he hold him up, which is a early stage of crawling development. Who knows, he may even walk before he crawls. He’s developing his hand-eye-mouth coordination quite well, too. We have to be very cautious about what gets within his arms’ reach now.

Erin is going to make some homemade chicken soup for me tonight. I’m very excited about that. I don’t tell her how much I appreciate her enough. Not that I don’t do it at all, I just need to do it more often. She really is great.

I’m still waiting on our great and almighty State of Florida to process and accept my application to become a licensed mortgage broker. It’s been two weeks with no progress. It’s maddening how slowly these bureaucracies move. It’s amazing that anything gets done at all. Doing business with the government has to be the most inefficient, mind-numbing exercise known to man.

Anyways, back to bed for me. I’m fighting a cold, and it’s going to be a quick fight.
