Picking up the pieces. . .

Work's been pretty busy since Monday as everyone's pitching in to do the work of our recently-fired co-worker. There's a lot of things missing/unaccounted for, so we're trying to make sense of everything and get moving on some events, etc that are happening over the next couple of weeks. There are a number of rumors as to why she's out--stolen money, mis-management of one of her big projects--we'll probably never know for sure. What do you do when you're 40-ish and get fired from a job where you've been for 6 or 7 years? How do you explain away that gap in your resume when you're looking for a new job and can't get a reference?

Minka was racing toward me yesterday, and I suddenly noticed that she is insanely pigeon-toed--just on her right foot. JUST like her father. Of course, I was online immediately when she went to bed, Googling like crazy. . .apparently it's nothing to be concerned about this early on and will supposedly correct itself. Looking at her 30-year-old father, whose right foot still turns very sharply inward, I am not very convinced! Her 15-month pediatrician's appointment is coming up in 2 weeks, so that will be at the top of the list for things to ask!

She has a touch of eczema-mostly confined to this one dime-sized patch on her left shoulder-and we have been using Cortaid on it after bathtime, with some Aquaphor over that. We recently started using Aveeno Baby wash and lotion on her and her skin feels just divine. I was getting her dressed this morning and it's like silk. I may try it myself. . .
