an annoying but good sign

Bean woke me up at 4a with her old "mawr mawr mawr mawr" with a toy in her mouth thing. Annoying, because I had only fallen asleep at around 3a, but good because it's the first evidence of her "usual" behaviour I've seen in almost a week.

I'm taking this as a good thing. Now just nine more days of antibiotics, a week of anti-inflammatories, a blanket to wash thoroughly [once I'm sure it is safe], and about three weeks of sleep to catch up on...
