We are definitely moving on the first!! I'm so happy I could cry (in fact, I did cry). We got the apartment we want, although I do need to call them today and make sure they are giving us the downstairs unit. We had to put down a bigger deposit, considering Jason's self-employment status, but we were able to do it. I was totally sweating this move, worried we wouldn't be able to make it because there was this one client of Jason's who was disputing his charges, and we hadn't heard from them in three weeks. Yesterday a check from them came in the mail! Happy dance!

Down side: I won't have internet access for a while after we move, and actually, not even a land line. We'll live only three blocks from the library, though, so my plan is to go once a day and check email, various yahoo groups, and LJ. Plus we'll have a laptop and there are wireless cafes around.

I need to write about the countless cute things Sagacious says and does, but he is so sick right now. Well, actually, I think he's better today, but for the past five days, he's been the sickest he's ever been with a raging fever and whatnot. Okay, so the cutest thing he does is that he'll say anything you say, like a mocking bird. He just repeats whatever it is, like I could say to him, "Say 'Elvis lives'," and he'd say right back to me, "Elbis wibs." Very cute stuff, talking in little sentences, understanding everything, furrowing his brow and tattle-taling on Timely and Noble. I love the way he says their names, Simey and Nomle. He totally thinks he's one of the big kids, just gets right in with them, whatever their doing. When we're having school, he's out in the backyard with his own shovel with the other kids, digging for worms, or he's right up to the table trying to cut snowflakes out of construction paper, will not be left out of anything. I have a few pics to share later.

Does anyone have home remedy type stuff to speed up cold sore elimination? Timely had this really bad one through Xmas and New Year. It's pretty much gone, but there's still a very red splotch where it was, and with all the illness going around, I'm worried about it erupting again.

Also, payla, will you email me? I want to ask you some questions about getting your new job. mandytrichell at hotmail dot com

Sorry this is most boring entry ever. I've been utterly blocked, even for journal writing, with all that's been going on. I'm starting back slow, or whatever. You know what I mean.
