A bit off our routine today.
The nursing home called this morning and told us NOT to come in; too many people have the flu and they're posting signs asking visitors to stay away lest anyone else get sick. Of course the call was not in time to save Hoocher from the dreaded bath. He's acting a bit sulky now. Poor boy was dragged through the shower with no payoff - no old men to take naps with, no cookies to charm out of old ladies. Life's hard.
The weather has improved. Last time I checked the temperature was 4 degrees ABOVE zero. Tropical, really.
The Senator hosted a tea party this afternoon for his grandparents. I let him choose the menu. We made chocolate chip cookies and also served blueberry muffins, black olives, tea, and cocoa. I know, I know...what can you do to wrangle an invitation to one of these, right?
Soccer last night was a blast. This is a new session, and several friends I hadn't seen in a while signed up to play. There's always a lot less violence when you're playing people you know and would actually feel bad about maiming. And I put a beautiful shot in the net. After sending all previous shots wide or high, it was nice to finally complete one.
One final thing: If you're feeling patriotic and have a box of tissue handy, go here. Aelfheld left the address for me in the comments to the last post. Thank you, A. Yr Most Humble Svt...
