Amiel's Ailments




Poor Cinci- it has been a rough week. First off, it has been between 95-100 degrees for like 20 days or something, and we bake in our little brick house with no A/C. Maggie and I pretty much spend all our time in the basement during the day. Amiel has been working outside and comes home to our hot box every night. If you know Cinc at all you know how warm blooded he is anyway and much he sweats. I mean, it can be 32 degrees and he will be sweating. This week with all the heat he came down with a mean case o' tinea cruris (if you really want to know, look it up) a very friendly little fungus. We are um, sparing you the picture on this one even though he wanted to post it. Then he cut his knee and it turned all red, streaky and hot-and we found out he had cellulitis. If that wasn't enough he was cutting metal of some sort at work and it sparked off into his eyes (and no he wasn't wearing his googles)- and they had to pick tiny metal pieces out of his eyes and face with tweezers- fun, fun. So please pour on all the sympathy you can for poor Puddin- he needs you.

In Australia when everything seems to be going wrong at the same time, we have a phrase, 'I'm in the wars!!' - I think this would be an appropriate time to use it! Hope pud has a speedy recovery from his injuries!! I really don't know how you guys cope without A/C. It is a MUST in Tokyo...we couldn't sleep otherwise!!
