6 louds of laundry from last week. What the heck happened?
I hate house chores but I hate a cluttered house even more. For whatever reason, last week's laundry resulted in one massive pile. All this sorting, folding, and storing is getting me down.
Veterans Day Blues
Technically Minami has school today even though many schools are off for Veteran's Day (which we celebrated on Sunday by visiting her great grandparents grave). But Minami woke up with her right eye a little swollen - similar to the "eye acne" she had before. So we we're off to the market to get some eggs to boil and place on her eye. From past experience I've learned that being agressive with putting warmth on her eye is important to minimize swelling and scarring and it drains fluid. I think this was a result of her hair being too long and in her eyes which provoked her to touch it and infect her eye. So I'll also be cutting her hair today as well - I should've done it a week ago.

High 5 for poop!
Something to celebrate on Minami Cali's Mama's SoCal birthday - for the 1st time Minami verbally admitted that she needed to poop before going in her diaper. So we rushed to the toilet just in time for her to "pinched a loaf." Of course I was asking her every 10-15 minutes and have narrowed her general pooping time to be in the evening, usually after dinner. Basically it's the 1st time she pooped in the toilet by her own will. She's very proud of her accomplishment.

Minami California Clear
Minami is doing fine this morning - there doesn't seem to be any reason to be concerned about her head bump the other night.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
This evening Minami took a fall off the side of the sofa - she jumped on the arm rest to sit on it and fell back, hitting her head on the carpet below (next to the piano). It was a pretty loud bump so obviously I freaked out, but after a good 15 minutes of tears and screams she seamed ok. This would be the 2nd time she fell off the side of the sofa, the other time she fell off the opposite sofa arm (perhaps a year ago) and landed on a set of her wooden blocks on the ground, giving her a distinct square bruising on her face. But this time it was a straight fall onto carpet so at lease the hit was padded. I'll be keeping an eye on her but the general consensus is that if she didn't loose consciousness at any time and doesn't experience any nausea or dizziness then she should be fine. It's been an hour since she hit her head and she's playing as if nothing happened. In fact I caught her sitting on the sofa arm once again and warned her she could fall again - she promptly got down.

Poop problems
I ask Minami if she needs to poop and she says no. Literally a minute later she's pooping in her diaper. Very frustrating.

Minami with artist Chris Kawagiwa at the LB Comicon
We must've walked past Chris Kawagiwa's booth like 3 times but missed it. But we got our photo... mostly to make Matt Dow feel like he missed out.
Comicon or Home & Gardening Expo? Quite frankly we could swing both ways.
Some dude just tried to swipe our LB Comicon program. Fortunately this crowd is easier to intimidate than, let's say, a Harley Davidson convention. I told the would be thief to bug off.
I think Minami is more a abstract artist.
The LB Comicon is pretty small but then again I may be spoiled by memories of the San Diego Comicon.

Some FEA peeps at Langer's Deli in LA
I had the corn beef hash at Langer's to try something new... I wish I had ordered the pastrami - yeah, it's that good! Oh and some Cal State LB friends were there too... oh and Minami too. Darn, I really should've gotten the pastrami on rye.

Fwd: Breakfast of Tardy Champions
A hearty breakfast of homemade hash browns, organic over easy eggs, and chunky corned beef - good reason for Minami to be 15 minutes late for school.

Sour Face
Minami never gives me the satisfaction of seeing her sour face - she can chew on lemons without skipping a beat. So it took a Warhead sour candy to finally get my laugh.
