Got better enough by Thanksgiving. Thank You. More couch time, and work from home time. Wandered over to my parents condo with the family after Lucy's early nap, she's also feeling much better, eating more, not so much diarrhea. Thank You. Not so much a traditional thanksgiving, since my parents are headed to the Philippines for a month, and moreso a chance for a refresher for Mydel, who's subbing for my mom as Lucy's daycare for December. Thank You. So it was cornish game hens, Hong Kong Chicken and other Plum Garden goodies, fried shrimp and chicken from Chop Suey Hut. Facetime'd for the first time with Al and Nicole, but for some reason it crashes my parents internet/tv router thingie, which is strange. That device, which I think allows them to distribute DirectTV over IP, which in theory is pretty cool, but I also wasn't able to get it to work with my VPN. At least with a PPTP, I didn't try the SSL-VPN, which probably would have worked. Anyway, giving thanks for all that. At work on Black Friday, only had 6 people on the 135 headed into work today. That was nice. Stopped by Chef Petro's Restaurant and finally, finally, got the diner style blueberry pancakes I've been craving. So I'm done with that for a while, and now know where to go to get my fix.
