(no subject)
first of all let's not talk about how this child has gone from
to
in less than eight months.
LET'S NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT HOW HE'S AGED EIGHT MONTHS AT ALL.
IN FACT LET'S JUST CHANGE THE TOPIC ALTOGETHER.
other things to talk about:
i. i went to the doctor last week and i have degenerative disc disease, which i think sounds much worse than it really is. first of all, it can be stopped, so it's not like my bones are destined to grind themselves into a fine powder by the time i reach my mid-twenties or anything. i was also diagnosed with a touch of arthritis in my spine, though, which makes me feel totally ridiculous, and my spinal canal may also be narrowing, and therefore pinching stuff like a frat boy in a crowded bar, but we'll see. i started physical therapy this morning and i think it will help a lot.
ii. i went to peoria and saw kelly in a play, which was wonderful, and then i drank $5 mason jars of long islands with kelly, kaitlin, bryan and my new friend katy. pictures are mandatory and here.
iii. we took syd to his second wedding ever over the weekend, to watch our friends brandon (you should probably watch brandon do this) and megan get married. their ceremony was very simple and genuine, outside with barbeque and room for all their friends and everybody making music by the end of the night.
iv. we took syd to chicago, to the museum of science and industry, as a surprise. he gasped when he saw the sears tower and realized where we were, then wouldn't stop talking from the backseat about how nobody would believe he had actually seen the series tower.
v. today nicole is twenty-three years old. we had sushi and alcohol and played big buck hunter ii to celebrate. ilu bb.
vi. we move this week, unless packing in the heat kills me first.
