I had Rich and Uncle Chicken over last night for another Scotch and Movie night: These are truly turning into a highlight for all of us - we're bonding well, sharing good stories, and having a great time. The scotches included Oban, Springbank, Lagavulin (as always), Caol Ila, and a taste of Jameson Gold to start. The movies were Idiocracy (even funnier the second time for me) and Run Lola Run (a classic).
The Basement Lair is well secluded from the house, so our belly laughs, screams, and techno music did not disturb the sleeping family.... though the family is still reeling from the sicknesses:
Yes, Pamela has her annual sinus infection, and got completely wiped out starting Friday and really presenting today, with her sleeping til 10, and taking a 4 hour nap in the day too. But she need to heal - I'm not complaining. I'm just glad that my post-scotch fuzzy wasn't too bad - since Isaac had decided that 6 was a perfectly reasonable wake-up time.
With Pamela down, I managed Isaac and Bella... when Isaac went down for an early nap, Bella and I snuck out to do some errands, starting with bagels at Brueggers. I love doing errands with Bella. Isaac seems to be mostly better now, but is now having trouble not getting all of the same attention: He wants a lot of holding, especially while falling asleep. So we're working on getting him back to his normal "sleep when sleepy wherever" self he was. Also, his appetite is back, and he's making up for lost time.
Oh, the Jag is back in the shop: a second tire fell off the rim, which has created a crisis of confidence in the house. This is unfortunately a side effect of not having a garage: Exposing tires and alloy rims to sub-zero temps for 2 weeks straight has resulted in the seal between tire and rim getting brittle. So the tire just sort of wanders off of the rim. this is very bad, but with the cold snap behind us, this will be done with. This same thing did happen to my Beetle many years back, and the only real solution would be to do snow tires on steel rims. But that would be hideous, so nuts to that. More likely, after a coooold snap, a visual inspection of all 4 tires prior to leaving the driveway is the better move.
Ok, enough about that.
This weekend, we'll have a visit from Papabam, which should be wonderful. The "cover story" is that they're going to be primary for the Kids while we finish whipping the house into shape. Over 3 days, we will get a LOT done. Or else.
Off to bed!
