post-vacation letdown from hell

seldnei1. Scott has a sore throat. He thinks it's allergy drainage.
2. Z. has what appears to be pink-eye. (He's a zombie! Nooooooo! ... Wait.)
Back when we had the allergy tests done, we found out that Z. is allergic to oak pollen. Well, the family homestead in North Carolina is in the middle of the woods, and those woods are made of oak trees. So I'm kind of thinking that this is just allergic conjunctivitis (which the baby book says is a possibility), but pink-eye isn't something to mess around with, I don't think. Plus, it looks hideous, whatever it is.
Thus, I called the doctor. Z has an appointment tomorrw for a follow-up on the ear infection, so I called and asked if I could wait until tomorrow or if I need to bring him in today. I await the call-back. ETA: Just got the call, and we can wait and bring him in tomorrow. Phew!
The complicating factor is that I have to be at work by 4:30 preferably, but by 5:30 at the absolute latest, and I have no babysitter today. Originally I was going to bring Z. to Scott at work, but if he's got pink-eye that's really not an option. So I think Scott may be coming home early today.
Oh, and Z's also all stuffy and hoarse. Lovely.
3. I feel fine, so far. Tired because I watched two hours of Veronica Mars last night, but otherwise fine. Though I did start to sneeze and the eyes got tingly when I opened the suitcases. I'm seriously considering looking into renting a cabin next year, near the trees but not right in them.
I do plan to post about our trip, too. No rafting, so no truly hilarious stories, though.
