We have been huddled here at home, sneezing and sniffling and hacking for days and days and days now. It’s getting a bit old. Today I have no voice. The children kind of enjoy that.
Earlier this week I had a doctors appointment for something completely unrelated to my cold, and it did not go well. I might tell you more about that once we reach a final solution. But I also might not, because it’s kind of a delicate lady issue and I am kind of a delicate lady and I’ve already changed my mind about posting this at all three times now. So let’s call this a Very Vague Prayer Request.
Secondly, something else
How was your Valentine’s Day? Mine was fine. Our anniversary is in early February, so it seems like overkill to do anything for Valentine’s Day. And so I spent the evening watching the Westminster Dog Show and eating popcorn while Rockford was on a conference call. It was very romantic.
I didn’t want to approach a stranger and ask if I could take a picture of them to put on the internet. So instead I took pictures from our moving car, like a total creep. In retrospect, maybe I should’ve just summoned my courage and spoken to someone. This was the least-identifiable picture I took.
February 4. A Stranger.
Photo Five: 10am [Monday]
I wasn’t actually awake at 10 a.m. on February 5 — I know! It was marvelous. — so I thought I’d take a 10 p.m. picture instead. And then I forgot to do it, so here’s what was going on at 10 a.m. on February 6. More spelling! Which was followed by a game of spaceship and then a little U.S. history. (Also: I had to take this picture with my computer, because I left my camera in Rockford’s car.)
February 6. Ten a.m.
Day Six: Dinner [Monday]
We had dinner with friends, who made a baked pasta dish. It was tasty. February 6. Dinner.
Day Seven: Button [Tuesday]
I can’t find a manufacture date on it, but I think our dishwasher might be at least as old as me. It still works pretty well, though.
February 7. Button.
Day Eight: Sun [Wednesday]
It’s been unbelievably warm and lovely here lately, but Wednesday was cold and grey. As February should be, I guess. The sun made a very brief appearance in the late afternoon. It didn’t warm things up at all, but it was time enough to snap a quick picture.
February 8. Sun.
Day Nine: Front Door [Thursday]
This is the knocker on our front door. Our home is the proud recipient of the “Total Electric Living Award.” Pretty sweet.
My poor sweet little website was hacked sometime last month, a fact I didn’t discover until this evening. I’ve spent the last two hours trying to rebuild things, changing passwords and wondering why it was worth their time to infiltrate this little ol’ thing.
I think most everything is as it should be again (with the exception of the header, which has reverted to generic). Please let me know if you find something missing or notice something that looks out of place. In the meantime, my good friend President Ryan will be watching over things. Infiltrators beware.
