What A Load of Carp

[puppetmaker]

Peter has a signing today in Maine so he has the Mac today and I am at his PC. This way he can get work done and people who need to send him visuals can get quick answers since my Mac is better than his PC at that sort of thing (or it maybe the version of AOL we have on this computer).

I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday and hope to get more done today barring an unforeseen wrinkle which I am going to put behind the cut because it is gross and not for the faint of stomach especially if you have a thing about bodily fluids.

I am grateful that it was not worse than it was.



I say carp instead of crap because if I swear and Caroline hears me and repeats all she is saying is the name of a fish.

Yesterday Caroline didn't want to eat at all. She would drink water and I got a protein drink into her but that was about it. I put it down to the three shots she had the day before at her wellness visit. She went to sleep about the usual time and I carried her up to bed which had no stuff on it other than her bedding.

I went into Caroline's room this morning to be hit with the pungent odor of crap. She finally had the last symptom of the virus we both had. She was covered from about her nipples to her heels in crap. Her bed was cover. Her favorite blanket got hit. Her favorite quilt got hit too (Sorry Mary Aileen but I did follow your instructions for cleaning it). First thing was to get her cleaned up which I did. Followed by gather up the items that were soiled which included her pink blankie. Pink Blankie is the one thing that she has to have when she is feeling bad and she couldn't have it. The howls must have been heard around the neighborhood. So she is mad at me and keeps glaring as I type this but the blanket is in the dryer and will be done soon.

Now I have to keep an eye on her and get some more work done.

(UPDATE: PB aka Pink Blankie is clean and the baleful looks have changed to hugs and kisses.)

Oh, Kath! I've had to deal with that with my nieces.... not only the cleanup but the howling of protest if someone like Roxanne the bear or Monkey-Monkey gets soiled.

Hopefully your day gets better from here.

Thank you. I sincerely hope it does get better.

I am so glad that the bed was clear of the usual million and one stuff animals she has on there.

Oh poor girl! :( And you too for having to clean it up.

I'm glad it's all clean. I remember the horrors of not having my Blankie. *nods*

*grins* I'm not ashamed!

Actually I still have my blankie. Poor bedraggled thing that it is. It's wrapped up carefully in a ziploc baggy with a bunch of my other childhood stuff. (including a one-eyed snake who's as bedraggled as the blankie)

Don't worry about it. That's why I made sure it was washable. Did it come out okay, or did it stain?

Sorry you had to deal with the mess. I hope Caroline is all better now.

Colors are fine and nothing stained or ran.

Nice quilt! :)

Always prewash your material! :)
