We took Carmie to the Crowded House concert in Brisbane this past Saturday. It was awesome! Some parts of the night were tough. Finding a restaurant near the venue where we could all eat dinner was difficult, but I found a place that suited our three respective diets, but it was so loud! It was the noisiest restaurant I have ever been to, which wasn't great for Carmie considering her sound sensitivity. She had to wear her headphones and we were barely able to speak to her, and the food took ages to come too. It was yummy, but the wait and the noise were really disappointing. But the concert was awesome! It was at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, which holds about 15000 people, so fairly large, and Carmie was in awe. She had a blast during the concert (wearing her headphones!), whooping and cheering with the best of them. It was so lovely spending time with her. I still remember my first concert - Billy Joel, with my dad. We are so glad to give Carms a similar experience. Jeff loved the show too. Arley didn't come - he opted out, and had a night at home with Lolo and Dida. He has no real interest in music, so he was fine with it.
Everything else has been pretty good. The kids are still doing their activities, so not much has changed. They are really looking forward to Christmas next week. The weather has been crap, but next week it looks perfect, which is excellent timing. Jeffrey wraps up his teaching tomorrow and will have just over two weeks off. His break won't be completely work-free, but it will still be a break. We have to get ready for next year, creating a new class schedule and advertising etc. But there will be no face-to-face with students, which is good.
Poor Carmie has been getting hives pretty badly. She has had cold urticaria for years, but now she seems to have developed chronic spontaneous urticaria, which really sucks. I have been giving her antihistamines every day, but if it doesn't go away soon, I'm going to have to take her to an allergist or immunologist. Just what she needs, another medical issue. Poor thing.
Arley is Arley...sweet, belligerent, loving, volatile, kind and ruthless. You get the picture. Same old same old!
