We're past the point of boredom . . .

Katy has been sick for about three weeks now. Last week she was diagnosed with Bronchitis, so we were not able to go visit my parents while my dad is still recovering from quintuple bypass surgery. I went out and got her two new fish (Bronch and Itis). They are Dwarf Gouramis just like the one our friends bought for us Labor Day weekend. Their plan was to buy us a fish and start a tradition of any friend staying with us feeling like they too should buy us a fish. The friend who came over the next weekend didn't seem to get it. Needless to say, Itis already seems to be dying, which is kind of foreboding since it was named after Katy's illness. I too have gotten sick; it is some virus going around. I have to take some nasty-tasting, codeine-laced robitussin that doesn't work nearly as well as Nyquil.

We've spent our days watching Gilmore Girls. We finished the first season of 21 episodes in 6 days (you do the math). We are about halfway through the second season after 4 days. We've slowed it down a little. We only watched one last night, and the night before we had the horrible idea of watching La Nina Santa (The Holy Girl) instead of Gilmore Girls. It was the first movie in a long time that we even thought of stopping halfway through because it was so incredibly boring. We've been incredibly stir crazy.

It's been almost a month and a half since Normal. We miss Normal. But by the time Normal shows his face again, we will be flung into the holiday season and won't see Normal again until the dreary part of the end of January. Always an optimist.
