Fever broke sometime in the wee hours of this morning; I won’t say I’m feeling better, per se, but I’m no longer shivering and sweating at the same time.

Dumb colds. At least I sound terrible, too - if you’re going to go through the trouble of being sick, at least get sympathy for it.

So we spent yesterday confirming that the baby industry is much like the wedding industry, with more attention paid to safety; purchased a crib, car seat, and rocking chair. Of course, only the car seat was in stock; the crib will take 12-16 weeks to special order, and the rocking chair padding will be 4-8 weeks.

Yes, that’s right, the crib will arrive at the same time as the baby. Shop early! Shop often! Sheesh.

Ever hear of JIT inventory? Yeah. Go tell babys’r’us or buybuybaby.

I shouldn’t be this grouchy about inventory systems. Probably time for another nap.
