    I was gonna try hard to get a lot done on this new demo site I started. I got a bug up my butt and wrote a whole ass modular restaurant menu component set and it took my 3 days before I was really happy with it. I was getting ready to jump into the rest of the site on Thursday and got a phone call from our youngest's daycare. He decided to get a stomach bug and

    CW vomit

    so I went to pick him up and right as I get him into his car seat, he puked all over the back of my car.

    We get home and take care of everything. My partner comes home on her lunch break to help. But that basically killed my Thursday and Friday from programming. He seems to be feeling better now but now I got it. So I'm super miserable, been doing more CWing stuff all day myself and have the standard issue stomach cramps where I double over in pain once every half an hour to an hour.

    More enjoyable news: others mentioned their kids going through word growth and this story is like that. We were driving around doing chores and I said "back in my day" in an old time voice because my oldest thinks it's funny after seeing it on Captain Underpants. Well our youngest, who is 2.5yo blurted it out in his best impression of me and it was so fucking adorable. He's going through a big word explosion but his speech still seems a little delayed so this was pretty big lol.

    I did some purchase therapy and picked up X4: Frontiers but don't feel well enough to even be at my computer.

    My partner has been amazing through this whole weekend and really stepped up to help around the house. She's the money person and I'm the chores and cleaning person but she is essentially picking up an extra load of work right after getting transfered to a new school only after 2 weeks at her new job. She's super stressed but has been a champ.

    E: now our oldest is sick...
