Not dead

Just been feeling that way lately. All four of us have been sick, in repeated waves. Fevers abound. Stomach issues reoccur. Coughing is rampant. Misery too.

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving yesterday. We spent the day alone so we didn't infect anyone else. I made a pumpkin pie and I can't even taste it.

What was that?

Our cable went out the other day and the repairman didn't come until late the next day (quite the trauma in our household, I'm ashamed to say). As he moved around the TV, fixing things, the girls talked his ear off. He was very patient.

Repair guy to Julia: And how old are you?

Julia: I'm six and a penny!

Us: You're what?

Julia, thinking hard: I'm six and a quarter!
