The allergy report came back, and it's official. Daddy is 50% vampire. I have an allergy to garlic, and coincidentally will die if a stake is driven through my heart. I am no afraid of crosses, however, and don't really have any cravings for blood. Hence the 50% part. But that's more vampire than most people on my street, so there's that.
The other allergies are egg whites, paprika, garlic, red pepper, and something to do with sugar that we're still scratching our heads at. Basically, after the results came back, we were more confused than we were beforehand. Until now, I've been avoiding dairy products like the plague.
SO, tonight Daddy had a cheeseburger at McDonald's. And paid for it mightily later on in the night. There must be garlic in it? Or paprika?
Anyway, the quest to figure out just what's going on continues. And at the same time, Mommy is still having a slow healing process herself. Though the surgery was successful, it's just taken a while for her to get back on her feet completely. We're praying for our health lately, although things aren't as terrible for us as they are for others. We're grateful for what we do have, but it would be nice to get back to 100% soon.
Only one week until the piano recital. Today we had a practice run, where Madison performed for the class - she did well there. It's a complex bit of work with her hands, but she's been practicing. And she'll be practicing for the next few days as well. There was also this big ensemble piece that the class played together - "Pillow Dance." She and this other boy have this one part, and at one point she's the only one playing, about halfway through the song. She'll be practicing a lot over the next week on that one as well. It took a while to get the class all together with timing and so forth, but there was that one last performance where everything lined up. And all was well. And it will be well again in one week's time as all the kids will be frantically practicing.
Tonight, we watched "Inside Out," getting ideas for our upcoming January series. Hopefully it will work out, but a few people seem pretty excited about it. The thing is that Daddy will have to do a whole lot of writing between now and then, probably a lot during our vacation coming up. But that's okay - Daddy likes to write, believe it or not. Especially knowing that it will be something great for Madison hopefully.
We read again tonight from the devotional, and from "The Isle of the Lost," which is again is a LONG book! But Madison is really enjoying it, always wanting to hear an extra chapter - though we can't always do that because it takes so long just to read one chapter. It's a fun book for her, with the villainous characters that she's used to as the protagonists. There are all kinds of villains, but no vampires. Maybe they could write Daddy in that - he's 50% vampire now, right?
