On Monday I tasted a cookie and found them too dry and by Tuesday they were really dry. I determined that I’d probably baked them too long in the commercial convection oven plus cooled them wrong. Since we were going to Santa Barbara to trade kids anyway I thought that I’d bake more and did that. The cookies turned out much better. Not the same with kids though. Poor Elias wanted to come back with us so badly but we’d promised Christabel that she could come back and besides Elias has had about 3 times alone here while Bel has had maybe 1.
Christabel had been sick but was feeling much better; well enough to be running around the apartment complex so we weren’t worried. Much to my chagrin she got worse almost as soon as we got home. She has had a high fever and we have spent our evening with cold compresses, cold water, Tylenol and so forth. Now we are all hoping that she not only gets better quickly but that the rest of us come thru without a problem.
Next week is day camp at UCSB for the older 3 and some sort of camp for Bel. Then we are off to San Antonio for a week, then back to Santa Barbara to camp at the Channel Islands and other things for a week. We have no time to be sick.
