Welcome... To HELL NIGHT (Part II: The Innoculation)

[captain_slinky]

Molly got immunized for some stuff today (I'm a bad Daddy and don't know anything beyond the fact that someone was poking my little girl and making her cry alot) which apparently has the common side-effect of making a little girl unable to sleep because she's all fevery and sick-like (was it an influenza shot? Sounds right).

So THAT, combined with last night's late-night shenanigans? It's gonna be another long, horrific night. She's watching Wizard of Oz right now, with just the occasional outburst. Poor, sweet Punkin' :(

This of course may mean that I'll be canceling on sasjhwa tomorrow afternoon for all the helping with the moving in to his new house... the SECOND such friend that I've had to cancel on in as many weeks (last week it was poor frazzled aqua1)!

So when it comes time for US to move away from our apartment? I'm more than expecting several similar "coincidences" to pop-up and keep anyone and everyone from being able to help. It's that Karma stuff that's been going around!

The flu shot isn't a standard part of your immunizations - you'd have to request it.

But most of them can cause a lowgrade fever and unhappiness. Did you give her some tylenol or motrin?

Opted to go with a mixture of Grain Alcohol and Splenda instead... pretty much the same thing, right?

Yeah, we've been giving her the Children's Tylenol... and then I gave her some Teething Tablets at 1. She's finally out :)

Echoing the tylenol or motrin recommendation here :) Motrin lasts a bit longer and they both do a good job on the fever.

I just crushed up some Vicodine and put it in her milk with a bit of Jack Daniels... pretty much the same thing, right?

Actually, we went with the Liquid Tylenol, and then I gave her some Teething Tablets at 1... she's finally out :)

Jack Daniels? Straight? You expect her to drink something that overpowering? No. Go with something fruity like a pina colada or a marguerita. Haven't you seen Guys & Dolls? Bacardi and milk served in a coconut shell. What kind of dad are you? Jack Daniels! I say!

She built up an immunity to those "Bitch Drinks" before she was even a year old. MY little girl can hold her liquor! So when she shows up on one of those "Girls Of Low Self-Esteem Go WILD" videos I'll at least know that she (a) did it of her own free will and (b) cost the producers several hundred dollars in hard liquor!

So THAT is how you intend to afford retirement!

A good college education don't pay for itself, ya know!

You just "cured" her of a world of childhood diseases too horrible to even remember. See what a GOOD daddy you are?

Did you ever notice in RPGs that healing potions are always a nice beverage in a stoppered bottle with a pleasant taste of tropical fruit and a pleasant aftertaste? They never smell of almonds and have to be injected with medieval syringes. They never have side effects either. "Slick Sammy's Cure All Wounds Potion - Guaranteed to cure light, medium or heavy wounds." And in small print "Side effects may cause light, medium or heavy vomiting, diarrhea, boils, bleeding of the gums or cancerous growths on the tongue. If symptoms occur, use our Cure All Sickness Potion (side effects may be light, medium, or heavy bleeding sores, lesions, and boils"

I don't know why that popped into my head. Man, if I wanted to get rid of adventurers I would pack the best healing potion in an elixir that causes leprosy. Or even worse, EDS!

No problem on the moving. I fully understand. It is now 12 hours before we are scheduled to start and we still don't know if we will be ALLOWED to start.
