Paul is home and pretty chipper, all things considered. He has a two-week reprieve of all strenuous activities, which means the gutting of the back of the house we’d been planning for weeks is out of the question. So is the continued gutting and construction we’d been planning over Thanksgiving… and during the three days vacation Paul had planned to take around the holiday. Plans? What plans? Apparently they are very overrated.
But he’s okay and that is what matters. It matters so much that it is even important enough for us to delay having a bathtub… and really, there is not much out there more important than this.
I finished and submitted the fellowship application. I owe special thanks to my friend in CA – the Sartre to my deBeauvoir – who came through at the last minute to help read when I couldn’t anymore. Won’t know of anything for 6 months, but it’s done. Maybe 2008 will be a better year?

I’m glad he’s doing better. I know how frustrating it is having to throw plans out the window. Maybe Plan B should be watching all the episodes of some TV show he’s been meaning to see. I wish you an awesome 2008, free of trips to the hospital.

Heh!
TV stands for “terrible venue”.
I’d read whatever book I’d been saying “if I had me some time I’d read such and such”. Huckleberry Finn comes to mind.

Wish you a speedy recovery.
