+ Goopy stuff +
Well, the goopy eye gunk appears to be dissipating, thank God. I will have to talk to your doctor about that next time. You were cranky last night with no appetite, but I'm hoping that's related to teething. You don't have a temperature, so it was off to school this morning. Hopefully you stay there.

Unrelated, but on my mind... A girl on my team is out today. Another person on my team who spoke to her sent out an email that said the girl is out because "She lost the baby. She's been bleeding heavily and there were other complications" and so on. Now. I'm new to this team and did not know she was pregnant at all. Same is true of 5 or 6 others on this team, one of whom approached me as he was very uncomfortable by the email. Upon further investigation, she had approved of this notice being sent out.

I have very mixed feelings on this. First and foremost, I'm terribly sorry for her loss. I don't know how far along she was, but it doesn't make any difference. She's probably devastated. And I am glad that she feels close enough with her teammates that she is willing to have such personal information shared so openly. I don't think I could do that. I'm very much a self-wallower and don't share with most people I know when something has hurt me. (Ceili, you'll probably tell your therapist all about my internalization of pain someday.) And I feel bad that the new people on my team are uncomfortable knowing these kinds of details about her. It's just all-around unpleasantness.
