So we’ve been pretty quiet lately. It’s because we were on sabbatical.

Yep, I’ve used more sick leave this month than I have used in 7 years.

(Sabbaticals extend to everyone these days, right?)

We travelled to 2 hospitals in 1 night because the Squeak couldn’t breathe. I tried not to cough all over the nurses or fall out of my chair. The period between 4am and 6am felt like a year.

Then the Squeak had a vegemite break.

And then I studied some Squeak vomit.

And then it was the Sabbath.

Now, we are better. Sort of.
