I have not been swallowed whole by the earth

just by my hectic life at the moment. First off my step-dad is doing well. He is still fighting the pneumonia, but his ticker is still tick-tocking. The blonde beast celebrated birthday #2 and he is quite the stinker. Jacob says something to crack me up everyday. Today he saw a picture ona slip and slide box of kids having fun. He said "Jacob wear swimmies and splasha dn the girls will come". Now how is that not a riot? I hope to get back inot teh swing of things, but I think it is going to be a while yet. We moved our entire lab and I am still dealing with all of the nuances that go with that along with an earlier start to my day so I can find parking when I get to work. The parking situation is so out of control. I am on a list and in about 20 years I should get a spot.
