Status report
Things around here are starting to settle back into normalcy. After my spectacularly bad birthday two weeks ago things actually got worse. I learned my paid for, reliable, did I mention paid for car was totaled by the insurance agency. Crying, I called Bob at work to tell him the news but he told me he couldn’t talk. I called him back half an hour later and he still couldn’t talk. Close to an hour after that he called back and told me that he was on his way to the emergency room- he’d been hit in the eye with a hockey stick stopping in to the gym to talk to another teacher just before I called the first time. He didn’t want to upset me more, which is why he’d waited to tell me.
Bob was out of work for a few days with a bruised retina and corneal abrasions. He’s expected to recover full vision, but for now, a week and a half later, he still can’t see very well and bumps into things. It could have been worse, but the timing was terrible. We were feeling pretty bleak for a while and our car search didn’t improve our moods. Sam stopped sleeping through the night AGAIN which made things that much more difficult.
Sam’s still not going down easily or sleeping through the night. We put a deposit on a new to us 2007 car that ended up being more than we wanted pay, but with our luck we weren’t willing to take a chance on an older car with more miles on it. I’m still pregnant and I’m getting more uncomfortable each day. I’ve started to swell for real and can’t fit into my regular shoes anymore. At least the sneakers still fit. To add insult to injury a cat peed in my bathroom and despite crawling around on my hands and knees sniffing everything I can’t find the exact spot. Anyone want to adopt a cat or three?
So that’s why I’ve been quiet the past week or so. Life has been rougher than usual. I’m looking forward to the birth of this baby and margarita season.

Argh! Tough times indeed. But maybe you’ve now been through all of the bad stuff for 2008 and the rest of the year will be better.
