Sunday Bloody Sunday, poor DS soon to be 12 had several flash flood nose bleeds. I think the sight of all the blood made him feel ill the rest of the day and night. He said it looked like a crime scene and in truth it did. I tried to clean everything up as best I could, but I'm sure if Dexter Morgan shows up with his blood spill kit, I'm busted. It can be very scary seeing blood gush out of you like that. I assured him he wasn't going to die and we just kept applying pressure. The bleeds would stop but an hour or so later another tsunami would surprise us. So far this morning, he seems to be doing okay except for a little bit of a sore throat.
In between nose bleeds, we remarkably all enjoyed lunch at Red Lobster in honor of DS soon to be 12. He ate his fill of cheddar biscuits. I told the waiter to skip the birthday sundae and just bring DS his own basket of biscuits.
There was a family party sitting near us celebrating their patriarch's milestone. He didn't get a sundae either but rather a large glass of chocolate milk! :) I don't know how old the gentleman was, but as I watched him, I hoped my son would some day be that blessed to be sitting in Red Lobster surrounded by his great grandchildren.

Love you new tea bowl!! LOL at your description! Scary stuff, those nose bleeds. Love those biscuits, too. What an awesome thought to have about your son one day enjoying his great grandchildren at Red Lobster. By the grace of our God, I hope he does too!!
I have a cup/bowl that I have at work. Its intended for soup, but when I forget to take my mug into work, I drink my tea from it. You should hear the mocking. ;-)
Poor DS. I had a nose bleed a couple of weeks ago myself, thankfully, not a gusher, but....not fun in any case. I put it down to dry temps and got a couple of humidifiers. I think they are helping, of course, it could all be in my head.
What a truly wonderful wish for your son. :-D
I got nosebleeds all the time when I was younger. They can be scary. I had one a few weeks ago. Haven't had one in years.
Love the new cup. I use a insulated mug for my tea. Keeps it nice + hot but it doesn't keep my hands warm.
I love your new tea bowl, I mean cup.
Beyond the nose bleeds I am glad to hear he had his favorite cheddar biscuits.
