My father got malaria during WW2 when he was in South East Asia. He had another bout in the fifties that was worse than the first and never had a problem again.

My malaria doctor he invited me while I was at an office visit with him to sit and peer through his scope at my blood sample. He set it up by saying I don't really have to explain anything, you'll see. Sure enough, there was a red blood cell, a red blood cell. then this thing that looked like a big black balloon at least twice the diameter. I commented those black ones look like they are ready to explode. He responded yes they are. and that's why you are anemic. Anyway the drugs did the job but I felt like shyte for a time.

How now ?

Linz is able to stand upright without grabbing the walls for stability now.  Her vertigo seems to have almost completely gone, although she says she still notices it when she gets out of bed.  She had this idea that to make January more exciting we would celebrate Robbie Burns Day, so on Saturday she cooked a haggis and black pudding and bangers and mash. When it came out of the oven the haggis smelled so bad that we were afraid to taste it.  Black pudding is pretty gross too, but I was able to choke a bit down.  The bangers and mash were okay, at least.  Also, we had Scotch and bagpipes music to go along with it.  I have always suspected that the driving force behind British colonialism was a profound dissatisfaction with British cuisine and an urgent desire to discover better things to eat.

Work is good.  I like the people I work with very much. Lindsey is back to work again, which is nice for me because she gets crabby and clingy when she's stuck at home, and I need a break from her sometimes.  My cat is happy and passes along her best wishes.

Everything sounds good and boring, in the best way, in kimmy land.

I guess it's like that here too.  Did I mention we're going to try for kid #2 ?

How old is she?

My best wishes

Thanks Omni. 

Thanks Omni.

Let me come back and underscore my previous. Please keep me posted as things work out.

I'm not trying to be nosy, just concerned.

I'm so oppressively bored and sick of everything.

This feels like jail now.
