State of the Me

Squiddle finally asleep. He had a mad scalp-scratching fit the first time I tried to get him down for the night. Which, I knew he'd been scratching his scalp now and again (the red marks are hard to miss beneath baby-fine hair), but this was the first time I've seen him do it. So he's back in mittens for now. If he's inherited Wonderful Husband's itchy scalp, I pray he outgrows it.

Today was largely a day of yardwork. A bit more clearing of the beds and rubble in the back yard, trimming the rosebushes there, clearing the old nasty lemons off the tree and out of its bed, and starting to clear the kitchen garden. We pulled all the pepper and tomato plants save the one that's actually giving us tomatoes, and I pulled about two-thirds of the oregano's seed head branches. Which is the source of the blisters on both my index fingers. ^_^;; But the yard waste bin is full, so doing more gets to wait until next weekend.

And Wonderful Husband cleaned our bedroom fan today. As it's on year-round, it gets pretty darn nasty sometimes....

I'm down from painkillers-every-three-hours to painkillers-every-eight-hours. Yay! And now, bed for me too.

If Squiddle is having itchy scalp, put a little baby oil or mineral oil on his scalp and massage it in with your fingertips (not fingernails) or a soft baby brush. Lil had flaking, itchy scalp, and this worked so very well, especially since she was quite the escape artist when it came to mittens, socks, and blankets.
