Running Commentary

Kids home from school sick..all week..send help! January 18 2008

there have been duvet and furniture forts all over the living room…we are talking 4 duvets various comforters and like 150 pillows. Plus every chair from the dining room….an end table, the couch a rocking chair and noah’s desk.

It even has a panic room.

After constructing the first fort, brendan dictated step by step instructions to me that I had to copy down on a blank paper…and he insisted I leave enough room at the bottom so he could include his own diagram.

he titled it…FORT SCHEMATICS

There has been a LOT of soup.

A lot of popsicles.

A lot juice.

and you know.,..they aren’t even really that sick.

Noah has a cough (way worse at night) that I think will bug him after eating lunch or running around in the gym or after recess. So here we are…at home.

ANYWAY in other boring totally unrelated news…Chris has recently discovered that he can resurrect our dead-dead snowblower.

FOR CHEAP!

$150 will buy us a NEW motor…and will make our $1200 snowblower like NEW!

HUZZAH!

I ran a little last night…like a SERIOUS little. With my dog….just to feel it, you know.

And I thought FUCK YEAH! I can totally run again.

I was excited because even though it was flat…and even though it was probably only about 1km…I felt OK. Good even. No heaving. And? I was wearing my snowboots…or rather Feffie’s snow boots (which totally suck by the way) because she had STOLEN mine.

Anyway…this morning?

there is about 3 feet of snow blanketing everything. You can’t even SEE the sidewalks (where you totally have to run here in the winter on account of icy patches and near death experiences with sliding cars.) So I think i will take the Noah out for a snow show later today.

but hey, it IS a start.
