just super ridiculously busy and additionally, saturday is my birthday.

i had a huge backlog of pictures due to the move, so as much as i'd like to blame it just on being sick, i believe the dates on some of these early ones speak for themselves.

stuff i've learned over the past week:

• avi definetely had an ear infection
• turns out i had bronchitis and a sinus infection as well
• it's a poor choice to realize this while your temperature is 101

whew. i'm back. we're moved and settled and mostly unpacked. work is good, avi is still not sleeping well, and we finally got the internet alive and kicking at home. i feel like it's been ages. oh, i guess it has ( Read more... )
