Well played Mr. Q. Well played.

Dare I jinx things horribly, but things have been pretty darn good with Q of late.  He still wakes up WAY too early and naps too infrequently, but he is a much happier dude altogether (and hence are we as well).  He is still bothered by an infrequent and unproductive cough, but otherwise has been healthy. Plus, he is finally topping 15lbs.

Speaking of Q, he continues to be very very HIGH energy.  When the MA at the doc's office (a pediatrician who sees kids all day every day) brings in other MAs to meet him because he hams it up so much at the office, you know he is different (and in a good way).  He has such joy for everything.  I wish I could be half as excited and happy as he is when he wakes up from a nap, let alone a long night of sleep.

Today we took him to a pool near Multnomah Village that had a water slide (he is unfortunately still too small) and some spraying water jets and a nice shallow end perfectly sized for his stature.  It wasnt nearly as warm as the Kennedy School soaking pool, but he still had a blast.  Then, he passed out in the car on the way home and had a nice nap before we wandered out to a local 'fruit stand' which also turned out to be a mini grocery with an array of house made sausages, home baked pies, and other delicacies.  We capped it off by trying Lardo sandwiches for the first time while Q actually played and entertained himself enough to let us both eat at the same time!  (As a sidebar, they had on tap one of the best/strangest beers I have had in a very long time (ever?) called Sweet Heat by Burnside brewing; sweet and spicy with a really nice flavor.  Thumbs way up.)  When we got home, Q ate and then, when Tia stripped him for his bath, he peed all over her pants and the rug.  While she went to take off her pants, he then took a shit on the same rug!  It was effing hilarious and ridiculous all at once  :)  Now I am trying to type a blog with cats draped all over me.  I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I will definitely try to remember today when days don't always go so well.

No new news from work.  Trying to figure out the next move while possibly keeping a step ahead of any changes that might be coming down the road.  Have my review on Tuesday, should be a nice chance to finally chat for a bit with the new manager.  Still working everywhere while they try to figure out what to do with me.  I guess for now, until rumors solidify a bit more I will just try not to speculate too much and keep showing up until something actually comes along.  More to come as always.
