A new low & a new high

The house was 55 degrees this morning.... let me remind you, this is with the heat on... well, supposedly.  I don't know what's going on with the heating.

LB is feeling better.  He's back to his machine-fighting, evil-destroying, robot-ocotpus-pretending self.  JC, however, is miserable, and so am I. 

And not only am I sick, but the hot water doesn't seem to last more than four minutes in our shower, so I end up with cold showers.  Ah, just what a sick person needs, right?

Fuck, I can't wait to leave this house.

*Hubby is getting the sickness, too, but he seems to just be ornery. 

Yesterday was great, though!  I took the ferry to Long Island to see my sister & brother, uncle, aunt, and cousins.  We skyped with my parents & grandma, which was bittersweet- we all loved talking with Grandma, but it's become apparent that she's deteriorating mentally.  It's been especially hard on my mom.

But I loved seeing my family!  I had been years since we saw each other.  None of us really count my grandfather's funeral, because we were all in an emotional haze, but before that, it was at my cousin's wedding in SC.... LB was three months old!  So yeah, been awhile.

They missed Hubby and the boys.... a lot.  Only my immediate family has even met JC, so they were bummed that he stayed home sick.  I was starting to second guess my decision to keep them home, but Hubby said they had been tired and miserable all day.  I'll just have to make the trip back to LI soon.

Now, Aunt T, if we could only see some wonderful pictures that you took of our reunion!!  ;)

I'm so sorry you're dealing with furnace and water heater troubles. That is no fun at all. Hope you all feel better soon, too.

I'm glad you got to Skype with your family, though!
