Well, I’m on my way to recovery now. Yesterday was hump day. I woke up feeling pretty good, but I went out with a couple friends on a (short and flat) walk for about 20 minutes that I suffered on. After that I just went home and napped. Then I went to a Super Bowl party. My fever’s down, and I’m off the drugs but still feeling kinda achy all over still.

Mom. I got your package. Thanks! I think everyone in my house is amazed at how many people send me stuff. 🙂 It’s nice to feel loved.

Other than that, a friend of mine mentioned to me how he thinks a job that has high immediacy would be good for me. A job that demands you deal with something right then and there. Funny, but I think it’s true, since it seems like I’m no good at planning things.

A friend of ours, who we met in Austin, Cindy Goldberg, moved to France on assignment for Motorola 2 years ago. She met a Frenchman while she was there and is getting married to him in June. We just got the invitation in the mail from them! Look! They are getting married in a castle! And we’ll be there!

Last night after we got home from the zoo, Vince suddenly had a pretty high fever (102F). We gave him some Tylenol and he went to bed and this morning, he got up fine. I let him sleep in (today is a school day and he usually gets up at 7) but by 8:30 he was fine and wanted to go to school and see Ms. Pat. No fever and he ate his whole breakfast. Talk about a fast bug.

So now that we aren’t going to be in NY for that much longer, I’m trying to take every opportunity to see the sights. Today, as the temperature climbed to over 50F, we headed to NYC to go to the Bronx Zoo. It was a day where the air seemed so clear and the sun was bright, but not too hot. We packed leftover chicken from our party last night for a picnic lunch. Vince picked out at gift to send to Uncle Donald because he knew that Donald wasn’t feeling very well, but later he told us that he had boogers in his nose and that he wasn’t feeling very well himself and that maybe he could keep Uncle Donald’s gift. Afterward we headed into Manhattan to have dinner with a Rhee, a co-worker of Jeremy’s who lives in NYC and commutes 2 hours each way every day to get to work in Fishkill.

No, I don’t want sunglasses.

Let’s go this way!

Last night, after the party, I called my friend Susan Kim who works for Morgan-Stanley in the Bay Area. She has been working her kiester off the last month. It sounds like a lot of really hard work to be an investment banker. I think next weekend she gets to entertain some tresurer of some rather famous company at the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament. Yikes!

I’m still awake, posting pictures of Edda when she was a super chub-meister.
