Brr.

I am enjoying a little bit of naptime. I am NOT enjoying the cold weather. We get so trapped in the house and Punk gets super stir-crazy. I took her to the local Parents Center this morning to hang out with some kids and see some different scenery. I think she had a good time, although she was obsessed with all of the licensed stuff (Elmo, Cookie Monster, etc.). I think because she doesn't have it at home she goes all ga-ga about it. *shrug* It's funny, though. It was fun and I got to see my friend Jessica again, whom I hadn't seen since before Thanksgiving, I think.

An aside, do you know that there is an entire GOLF network? And that there is a GOLF reality show? I had no idea! I feel bad for Jess who is a Golf Widow, but I couldn't help but be fascinated. A golf reality show? Seriously? Woah.

We finally got the Christmas tree out of the house and it's nice to not have needles everywhere. Tonight I need to box up all of the ornaments and decorations. Fun times, right? Boy, this is one exciting journal. I'm so glad I managed to back up the actual exciting stuff (thanks to violane for the xjournal comm). Whee.

I miss my previous exciting and inspiring life. I miss having deep conversations. And not-so-deep conversations.

I just miss conversations.

My uncle

Also, apparently my uncle broke his leg pretty severely yesterday. (Or maybe the day before?) He was at work. He is a truck driver, and one day per week he drives up to New Hampshire by himself with just a cab and drives back with an empty truck. So he slipped and fell, at night, in New Hampshire, all by himself. And there was no one still working at the place where he picked up the truck. He was alone in the cold with a badly broken leg.

He called his boss and thankfully the boss got in touch with some of the employees of that place so someone could come be with him, and then his boss eventually got there and took him to a hospital. How scary is that? He could have frozen to death. What on earth did people do before cell phones?

2009 is not going to be a good health year for my family, I fear.
