Still Here

Hello Friends! Sorry about the two day absence. I thought I was coming down with the same viral malady that struck The Governor. Today I realized that my sore throat and rasping voice were due to the numerous arguments and battles I've been having with The Gov. Nothing works on this boy. Counting to three, threatened boycott by Santa, time-outs, shuffling adoption papers under his nose...he's just not impressed. I still have one trick up my sleeve: the television. I need to be careful, however, of using this ace unwisely. Television has come to my rescue in the past. I would hate to lose such an ally. But when I smash the remote control under his nose someday, it's going to make Hiroshima look a backyard bottlerocket display.

Otherwise life is going on as usual. Today was our weekly trip to the nursing home. Nothing exciting happened until Hoocher sneezed on Eva. She was a bit distressed, so we took ourselves off to another room. When we were out of sight, I congratulated Hoocher on his aim. After all the times I've had saliva and other unidentified goop spit or sneezed on me, it was fun to see it go the other way.

Had a great soccer game Friday night with my Russian team. I think I broke my little toe though. It's swollen and bruised and uncannily resembles a big red grape. I don't know if I broke a bone, but since this toe is entirely useless, I don't see the need to go to the doctor. I was able to play again Monday night. If it gets worse, I might just inquire about getting the thing cut off entirely. I'd have one less appendage to break while gaining extra room in some of my favorite high heels.

I guess that's all for now. I do want to congratulate Ross and Diana and the boys on the arrival of their little girl! I hope you're all doing well! Next time you find yourselves in our area, you drop those kids off here and scoot. I'd love to babysit!
