It's Been 6 Months

It's crazy to think that it's been 6 months since I've been to Columbus...I think. I went in July to stay while the Egberts were in the Gulf Shores and I'm pretty sure I haven't been since. School started and was crazy then they were out of town a ton. I'd planned to go in November? Then Jim got pneumonia and went into the hospital (of course it's Jimmy's fault). Hopefully (fingers crossed) nothing will happen between now and when I leave to delay my trip again and hopefully I'll get there safe and sound. Of course we've got bands of snow falling throughout the area but by the time I hit the road, all will be out of here. 

Trip sent me a text yesterday to tell me he started watching Best Medicine, a new series on Fox, and was liking it. I had told him about this series coming out a few months ago because it looked right up his alley and the star, Josh Charles, is someone who'd been on Sports Night, a series Trippy really liked. Of course in the time that had passed, I forgot about it and couldn't remember the name of it. I was thinking about it a couple days ago and then Trip sent the text. Kismet! I watched the first episode yesterday (it's also on Hulu) and really liked it. BTW, Trip...have you watched "The Pitt"? If not, you need to...it's so good. Also on Hulu. 

My plans: I'm happy to report that Boo did NOT bark at the door in the middle of the night. Woot! He also managed to let me sleep until 5:18 (2 minutes before the alarm was supposed to go off) so that's progress. He let me sit on the couch with only about 5 interruptions while I sipped my coffee, played my NYT games and watched some TV. Around 6:15, I found the energy to get on the elliptical and now I'm posting. I'll get up here in a bit to shower and finish packing. By then it'll be light enough to walk the boys. They'll each get about a mile and then I'll leave. Hopefully the roads will be fine. That puts me on the road around 9:00. 

Maggie and I plan on going out to lunch, seeing mom and then hanging. Dinner tonight: Homemade pizzas and a salad. 

Jim's still puttering around here so I guess I need to light a match under him so he can get a move on. 

K - best mosey. Happy - ooh, Friday! Later!
