This morning, BSM's right eye looked kind of red, with a little too much crustiness for my liking. So I took him to the health clinic, and the nurse said it's probably pink eye, but it's possible that he just scratched it or something. She told me to keep him home from daycare, and put breastmilk in his eyes (both of them: they eyes are very good friends; if one of them is sick, both of them are sick) every time he eats. She'll find me at lunch tomorrow, and if it still looks bad, she'll give me antibiotics for him. I was rather skeptical, but I didn't mind waiting a day, so I said okay. I went home, put some milk on a cotton ball and wiped his eyes with it. Wheeee. His eye continued to get worse, so the next time he ate, I put some drops of milk directly on his eye, sans cotton ball. Within a few hours, his eye looked a lot less red. So I'll keep going with this hedge-witchery, and show him to the nurse tomorrow. I am cautiously impressed.
In other news, when we defrosted our freezer earlier this week, the roast from the freezer thawed, so we invited John and Shoshi, and we're making Shabbos dinner at home this week. To clarify, "making Shabbos dinner" on the kibbutz means going to the dining hall after dinner on Thursday and getting soup, salads, rice, chicken, kugel, rolls, and fruit. Though we still made the roast, because that was the whole point, and Husbinator also made some potatoes and a cilantro/tomato salad and doctored some herring, because that is how he rolls.
