Weaning

In ancient writings, the word "wean" meant "to ripen" --- like a fruit nourished to readiness, its time to leave the vine… Weaning was a joyous occasion because a weaned child was valued as a fulfilled child; a child was so filled with the basic tools of the earlier stages of development that she graduated to take on the next stage of development more independently.
-- from The Baby Book by William Sears. MD and Martha Sears, RN, p. 187

Sleep Deprivation and Sewing

Do not necessarily work together.
Therefore, despite the fact that I sewed my booty off last week, completing many projects, this week?
Nada.
Tomorrow, I will be speaking in tongues. The brain is fried. The eyes are parched. I have boulders in my skull.

Also? Trying to read important medically significant websites and sleep deprivation do not mix. Trying to learn about autism and food allergies is hard.
