I can't believe this month is almost gone. It has been quite hectic around here lately. I don't know if I should be happy or worried now that I weigh barely 100 lbs again. What can I do, it has been stressful and tiring.
A lot of things is going on at home. It hasn't been very peaceful. Yesterday, we were chained up at home waiting for the maintenance person to come and replace the old A/C in David's room. That old motor is awfully loud and to our horror, we found tiny, tiny mites crawling into the room. They are all over the bed and wall. Man, they freaked us out. I complained and thus, they came promptly to replace it. The room is currently sealed up until the exterminator comes later today. To look at the bright side, this is an experience for us before owning a house, which everything will be eventually taken care by ourselves. Sigh, it still is a nuisance.
Liz is healing well. We went to a follow-up visit this morning and the doctor declared that she can take a bath now. Well, I have been sponge bathing her the past week. So, she's not smelling so bad. But then, another source of worries came to our minds. She has been getting bug bite marks on her body and face since Sunday. I am so worried if they came from the mites. I showed them to the surgeon and he said it couldn't be a reaction to the anesthesia. And he cautioned me to watch out for chicken pox. I really hope that they'll just go away soon. Sigh*
Speaking of the brighter subjects, Liz has been very active. She gives me a lot of workout chasing after her and picking her up from danger zone all the time. She eats well as in, she can sit on the high chair and munch for a long time although she doesn't eat very much (in quantity). She learns very quickly from David, especially the forbidden things. And she does them very happily, knowing that we'll show disapproval and give strong reaction. David and Liz get along most of the time though they still fight on occasions.

It has been crazy the past 3 days. I don't even know how I feel right now. I'm just so tired! First of all, I was very anxious about Elizabeth's surgery (to remove the skin tag on her right ear) scheduled on Friday morning. But then, I didn't even have time to worry about it or really prepare for it the day before the surgery. Because, James's dad suddenly called and told me that he was on his way over to Syracuse (from Buffalo) with his friend! It was a surprise indeed. If it wasn't for the surgery and if I actually had time to clean up and be ready for them, it would have been wonderful! I was so caught off guard that I didn't know what to do. Everything was just mumble jumble until they left today. I hope they'll come again, so that I will get the chance to make it up to them and be a better host. I feel so bad because I didn't even get to cook anything for them. My o my.
Speaking of the surgery, it went well. It was nothing big but they did have to put her to sleep. The entire procedure only took 30 minutes. I think Elizabeth knew what was going on because the night before, she couldn't sleep. She kept waking up and cried. I wonder if she was anxious. When the surgery was over, we knew it before the nurse came out to the waiting area to tell us. It was because Liz was crying so loud that I think the entire floor could hear her. The anesthesia was gone, she was uncomfortable and she didn't like the IV poking on her arm. Poor thing. It took us awhile to appease her. I am just glad that we got it over with. I hope it'll heal well and that she won't be scratching it.
Anyways, it has been stressful and sleepless for me. Stressful because of Liz and the visitors. Sleepless because of David. He had to share a bed with us the past two nights and he is a very restless sleeper!
Update: An ear (preauricular) tag is a small skin tag or pit in front of the outside part of the ear.
