My eyes felt better today, although the schools still didn't let the kids outside because there is a lot of particulate matter (ash) in the air.
You know, we don't get the Santa Ana winds here in Pasadena/South Pasadena. We get other kinds of winds (the colder ones), but not usually the SAs and this week was no exception. Absolutely no wind here. We must be shielded from them. They come from the east and our mountains are on the north, so I don't know what the shield is, but there must be something. Growing up in Santa Ana, we sure got the winds. I remember there were times in elementary school when I thought the wind was going to pick me up off the ground. Going outside was so difficult; walking was tough against the wind and with all the dust flying so hard, you had to keep your eyes closed. I HATED those winds. But it is still weird even after 16 years hearing that they are happening and not actually experiencing any wind.
I titled this "til tomorrow..." because it looks like J might have chicken pox. The spots that she's got (more every hour this evening) don't look like pox, but the nurse at the ped's office said that's because she had the vaccine. She has a fever and the spots, although she's not complaining about itchiness (two of the spots look like they've been scratched, though). The nurse said to monitor her tonight and call them with the status in the morning. We'll see what tomorrow brings...
Look at this, Shannon sent more pics of Malia!!
I can't approve of her outfit...
But that is one cute baby! Hi Malia!
