Of course, i am not completely home alone but with the benefits of a 3 generation family under one roof with a maid to boot.
I will have 6 weeks on my own at which time i hope to have all the kids' digits intact, then we're off to be with the mom for 9 weeks and then back again alone for another 6 weeks.
On top of that i have to contend with work.
So yesterday chronicled my 1st day.
It was relatively uneventful. I was in front of the enotebook most of the day, unfixing a boo boo i did when i tried to install ubuntu onto it. Had to do a complete reformat and reinstall.
J1 was at home from school, and was tasked to finish her homework as well as some test papers to test her readiness to sit for the exams on the coming weeks.
J2 was sent to school by myself as she had a late night sending the mom off at the airport.
J3 was still suffering from fever and the cough and sniffles she caught from me since monday. her temp was consistenly above 38 and 39, so we had to supp her to try to keep her fever down at mid-day. That worked for a few hours and by early evening, her temp had spiked again.
I checked and her temp reading said 40.5 deg c. So instead of trying to get her to see her paed on monday, my mom and i made a beeline to the children's emergency.
luckily it was not a full house, and we were seen in relatively short time. J3 was misreable by then and the sight of unfamiliar docs made her even more misreable. Luckily the MO on duty pull up some mulan on youtube and that placated her some.
3 hours, 1 blood test, 1 xr and 2 doses of brufen later we finally left emergency.
The mom had a long distance chat with the consultant or reg on duty and she's happy that the tests came back normal.
So much for a low-key kick-off, and instead we got all the excitement.
Hopefully day 2 would be more relaxing.
