For the Love of a S'More...

The Crab Queen has discovered a new taste sensation: Indoor, Gas-Stove S'Mores.



Alas, GMK (trying to out-Iron Chef the CQ), was standing over the open flame when she was overtaken by nausea (inhaling gas is not among the recommendations of my recipe) and dropped graham crackers and marshmallows to sprint for an air-conditioned bedroom to lie down. To her credit, she did have the presence of mind to turn off the stovetop. She is taking it easy this evening as she thinks she's just a little "run-down". What she didn't add -- and didn't need to annunciate -- was that it's pretty easy to get run-down with our household inhabitants, an ER run, a drive on the I-15 this morning for Jack's Vision Therapy, and not getting enough quality sleep. (That last bit, however, might very well be QVC-24/7-related!)

Alas #2, APC succumbed to her combination of not-enough-sleep and back-to-back nights of fun n' frolic. She forgets that she's not a college kid anymore but pushing the big THREE-OH. Er, and she has a fever...so much for the fun n' frolic remark.

Tonight it appears that the other boys are questionable:
Jack is feeling headachy.
Tim is complaining of a headache and is running a little warm. (The bonus is that he tends to be more compliant when he's run-down).
Jamie is still pretty peppy but being kept under surveillance.
Charlie looks improved...only in the 102-range today.

LLGA is cordially invited to delay her arrival a few days, please.
