No further updates on the kidney issues. He slept well, but is still having tummy aches. One thought is that he's taking all of the morning drugs on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, he's never been a breakfast eater, and hasn't accepted my suggestions that eating would help avoid the pain. He's tired of being in the hospital, but the docs believe that waiting and watching is the best course right now.
Mommy says she feels great. Minimal pain.
I stayed up until midnight to watch a League One championship semi-final soccer game (Scunthorpe/MK Dons) that was scoreless through regular time and overtime. It then went into a penalty shootout. At midnight, right in the middle of the shootout, the network cut away to another show. Aaargh! To make it ever worse, the program (Australian Rules football) that they cut away to show is blacked-out in the US, so it went to black screen.

We are having a garage sale this morning. A few observations:
(1) These people are professionals. And they don't wait for you to wake up before they are knocking on your door.
(2) They stuff as much in their bags before you notice, and then offer you $5 for the whole thing. When you accept, they try to knock you down to $4.
(3) I wonder if Garage Sale buyers have their own annual convention, like Trekkies. I guess those are called "Flea Markets".
(4) I have excellent taste in music. My CD collection went in 10 minutes. All of Michelle's music remains in the bin. Of course, all Van Halen, Led Zeppelin,Greatful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, and Radiohead, were not for sale.
(5) Move the sale as far away from your garage as possible - these people will walk right into your house and begin making offers (which are ridiculously low). However, no one made on offer on my titanium Seven Alaris frame with Ksyrium SL wheels. Ben's old tricycle, however, was the first thing to go (made us an offer we couldn't refuse, and we have the big boy bike that Larry and Jen gave us anyway).
sounds tiring. as per usual. we're feeling your pain, though not as acutely as you. hang in there. it's actually raining in miami if you can believe. we'll try to connect remy with jacob later today--it's a shame they keep missing each other. he really wants to say hello.
xxoo and all the rest,
jen
