Illness update

I've been sick since Tuesday eve. I'm still sick. Just back from the doc - it's probably a virus.

My sincere apologies to people whose events (one move, one party) I planned to attend tomorrow. I will probably miss those, and it's probably better if I do.

( Icky details here )

On the plus side I'm down to 194lbs, my lowest weight in almost a decade. Not the way I'd recommend getting here, though.

Conversations in our kitchen

L has been obsessively saving seeds from every apple he eats in hopes of planting them. We've explained that he can't just keep them. So he has to throw them out...

L, putting seeds in the trash: "Bye bye seeds - see you in the summer!"
Pygment giggles at the cute, which distracts L further from the food.
Me: "Aren't you supposed to be eating?"
L: "I'm full of it!"
Both parents crack up at this.
Pygment, unable to stop giggling: "OK, I'm tired."
L: "You can sleep in my bed!"
Pygment: "No, I can't."
L: "Why not?"
Pygment: "It's not big enough for me and daddy."
L: "You could try..."
Me: "No, we know it won't work. See, mommy and I both went to college..."
