Back to "Normal"

Well, the family is back together again. Maria and Nate arrive home on Sat. What a welcome sight, loved picking them up at the airport and ensuring they made it all the way home safe and sound. Nate fell asleep on the way home, but woke up shortly after arriving home. He was only mildly excited about his new "Ka-Chow" bed. Yeah, I wound up buying it for him after he asked for it again last week. I was surprised he still remembered, so I figure it was something really stuck in his head. The Roseville Costco was out, but the Folsom one had 5, so Shawn was nice enough to pick it up on his way home from work for me. Luckily, the price was down another $100, so I got it for 50% off the online price. Spent 5 hours putting the dang thing together. Nate liked it, but was upset that it didn't move.
Sunday, Nate went to spend the day with Aggie, and we got about 6 hours together, before she called in a panic. Nate had a scratch on his neck and his glands were swollen. We wound up taking him to the Dr on Monday. Nothing serious, just a viral infection and his glands are working overtime. They ran a bunch of tests, required us to draw blood, which was a painful process to go through, not sure who it hurt the most. Got the results today and nothing out of the ordinary, just what the DR expected. However now Maria is sick too. So while they're back, they're not feeling good.
Maria and I did get to see Slumdog Millionaire. Maria got all caught up on Biggest Loser, Survivor, Saturday Night Live, Big Bang Theory and about half of the Bachelor's. Still need to catch up on Lost, Law & Order, Top Chef and Hells Kitchen. Such important stuff.
We reserved a hotel in Tahoe for Maria's birthday weekend. Mike and Lilia are coming up without the kids for an adult getaway weekend. Should be a lot of fun.
Back at work today, not much else new. Seems strange to actually be back in the office instead of working from home. It's going to take me awhile to get back into this routine.

Take care.
