microscopic invasion

germs, naturally. they have staged epic snotty battle against myself, my boy and my brother, so our visit to the boston branch has been postponed. my nephew dutifully threw something on the ground and pronounced ‘boom! ground!’ (or rather, ‘gwoud!’) over the phone as a preview.  on the plus side, i speak a-la-turner for a few days. yes, kathleen and tina alternate in my cords.

also, we lost power to the whole house yesterday. warm water funneling into the fish and turtle tanks… birds huddled together under towels… and one chilly snake held close to my heart for hours and hours waiting for the electrician to arrive. who, as it turns out, was the guy who finally figured out the problem with our comcast service two years ago. we like him.

definitely sleep time. more updates after i quell the invaders. as a sneak peak–we have painted another room!
