A pimple, to beat all pimples which took over the entire lower half of my face.  Like a toothache.  huge cellulitis looking pimple.  Until it finally got tired out and went away. Jack had strep, Allie had Tonsillitis...twice.  Andy had his shoulder surgery at the end of January, which has turned our home into the sick ward.  Bedroom a long term hospital room.  Books, magazines, clothes, cold packs, heating pads, pajamas, water cups, and more books.  EVERYWHERE. what else?  I started a new job which ...
