Out to lunch0
Last Sunday we hauled Dorrie out for another outing, this time to Olive Garden. She, of course, had zero interest in any of the food to be found there. In fact, she found this trip much more boring overall than the one we made to the movie theatre.
This time Grammy went with us, and we had a fairly nice lunch. I say fairly, because the restaurant was hot (what the heck is with businesses not having their AC going in the morning?) and because it wasn’t especially relaxing to try and eat while keeping an eye on Dorrie in her chair. Mainly because she just seemed bored. There were other people nearby and she watched them, but she wasn’t very interested in the toys we’d brought or in watching us eat.
So, it was a success (and I was pleased to discover that restaurants are noisy enough that the sound of a suction machine is as nothing), but I’m not sure how often we’ll try it. It’s just as pleasant to sit at home and eat take out.
In an update to the last post, as of last Monday we’ve decided to discontinue all goat milk for now and try and figure out an alternate plan. She was very very phlegmy, she had a rash on her chest which may have been heat rash but may not have been, and it just didn’t seem like the increase was agreeing with her very well. Puking has eased off a bit (except for yesterday, where she did it three times. :P). We’ll wait until we settle out with that before we move ahead with an alternate idea.
