I suppose I should mention that Jer woke me up at 8 this morning to tell me that kiddo has pink eye in both eyes. Joy.

Cigna hasn't sent the new health cards yet, so we can't really send him to the doctor. Despite being able to call and confirm (our insurance hasn't changed from 2003), most doc offices are too lazy to do it. That's why I have an untreated sinus infection. I -know- Patient First won't see me without the 2004 card.

I tried to get Jer to call kiddo's new ped and see if they'd see him anyway, but he too was too lazy to call. Um...We need to meet this new ped eventually. Why not go for something that needs to be done, rather than a silly "well-visit". We have to name the baby's ped soon, too, so if this office doesn't work out, then I want the time to find a good one. [NB: we left kiddo's original ped 'cause the office staff is so bloody impersonal we're just another number. They're friendly with other patients, just not us. *thbpppth!* Besides, ever drive the inner loop to Towson in the afternoon? It's not fun.]

So then he decides that he'll just keep kiddo home, rather than sending him to DC, as we don't know if the pink eyes are bacterial or viral. (Well, duh, that's why we should take him to the doc!) So he asks me if I'm going to stay awake so he can go into work for the morning.

Um...I went to bed less than 4 hours ago. There's no way in hell I'm staying up.

So I went back to sleep.

And Jer stayed home. He got to clean gook off of kiddo's eyes several times today.

*rolls eyes*
