Valentine's day, Sasquatch hunting and more Vitiligo care

It is Friday and I really need to go to bed. I have been running all day. We had an early Mayo Clinic appointment for Liam. His light therapy for the Vitiligo is working. He is getting really good results despite the fact the these higher levels keep burning in his face. We are working on the dosage. I was told "no" to the home unit at this time due to variations in dosage. So, our schedule will continue to include the three times a week visit to the Mayo after school. Disappointing.

I went to the Orange Park Beauty School to help my friend with one of her clinicals. She has to do a total of 5 lash extensions to pass that section--I was a willing candidate. My lashes and brows continue to make me wonder what I will look like in 20 years. Every year I get older they get blonder and thinner. I mean REALLY....I am going to have to resort to the make-up tattoo method of brow application because not being able to leave the house until I "put my brows on" is to crazy to come to terms with. The lash extensions look WONDERFUL. However, if I did it on my own it would run me about $150 every 6 to 8 weeks. That is something I can not add to my life. My friend did a great job though and I will certainly enjoy these ladies while I have them.

Back to school to pick up Liam and Rachel's boy Ben. Ben has been discussing a lot of Big Foot type theories and hunting methods lately so I took the boys to the UNF "forest" to go Sasquatch hunting. They had tools like hydro detectors and magnifiers and foot print collection tools.....Liam kept throwing pine cones into the forest when no one was looking and poor Ben would jump about 10 feet expecting come face to face with the wild monster man himself. I finally told Liam "enough" and we enjoyed the rest of our hike reading about native plants and sapsuckers. Cool. Left the forest and met Rachel with her other boy for dinner.

I went and picked up Hazel from a Valentine's party--she planned a sleepover that she threw on me so I said okay and headed home to pack for her and Liam. I have to work one weekend a month at the hospital and with Lee gone it gets complicated. Tonight Liam is at Nana's but she has a Wedding Shower she is hosting tomorrow evening and is REALLY busy tomorrow. I arranged for Liam to go to Lacrosse match with some of our friends...the same that Hazel is sleeping over at...HOWEVER I received a call 10 minutes ago that her friend has a fever--the flu is relentless down here over the past few weeks. So Nana is driving to get her, it is 9:30 pm and we have asked Lee's Dad if he could be available to be with them for a few hours tomorrow. I think he agreed but I am going to make some early am calls from work to see if I can find a sitter.

Walked the dogs and put together Valentine Baskets for Lynda and the kids...dropped those off as well. Did a load of laundry and took out the trash. I am tired and wish I could have a full day or two with NOTHING to do and no one to entertain. --But I am blessed and my kids are well and I can't complain because I did dye a nice section of my hair PURPLE yesterday and my lashes are awesome. So who says my life isn't any fun?

Happy Valentine's--I have a book for Lee that did not get in the mail so I am going to call him in a moment and read it to him. Then I will settle back and enjoy the Electra lounge on NPR as I close the night down.
