Wow, I feel so bad for your friend's daughter, Bagz. That's heartbreaking. Is she in college? One of DD's friends lost her mom last summer shortly after graduation. The girl had tons of support from her mother's friends and friends' mothers and so on, and she seems to be doing quite well. Can't be easy, though. For a while I thought her father was going to pull a whiny selfish how can you leave me alone with your little brothers bull****, but there were so many people keeping an eye on them that that didn't happen.

How lovely! It's prematurely warm here too: 31 degrees!

Well, he's certainly more even tempered than I am. Case in point: I am about to email the daily newspaper a scathing letter to the editor about this very prominent woman who I think is vile. DH would never do such a thing. I will thoroughly enjoy it.

Oo! good idea! On second thought, nah, he did me a favor, I'm sure. Even though it still gives the heebiejeebies when I think about the shot, the elbow is more flexible which is wonderful.

This week I've been eating Banana Nut Crunch with skim milk, and pomegranite juice cocktail. Truth be told, I don't usually eat breakfast; I just sip coffee all day and then pig out all evening. Very bad. I'd like to get into the habit of eating oatmeal at least a few times a week, but we'll see about that. I must improve my routine while DH is gone, or I will never do it.
Today something weird happened to the furnace; there were buckets of black smoke billowing out of the chimney. When I called the furnace people, they said Turn it off! We'll be out! Guy's here right now.
Something horrible always happens in this house when DH is gone. Last summer he missed the week of the multiple bats. Now the furnace goes blooey and we're due for a giant winter storm tomorrow. Oh well so it goes. It took 3 whole days for the house to think up something evil to do. I wonder what's next...
Best Wishes to the young Sugar Plum guy! He's a cutie -- love that photo on your blog.
