Dropping a line

I just wanted to say hello and explain my absence lately.
Even though much has happened since my last post, I in no way find any of it interesting.
We have had a few storms which have been somewhat disruptive to our daily lives. I can't complain, it could be worse.
In the midst of all the wind and rain, Vanilla managed to tear an abdominal muscle. Yay!
The cost, in addition to hanging out overnight in the ER, seems to be running at about the $10,000 mark so far. Good thing we have insurance. I found out only yesterday that we only have to be responsible for about $3000. Yay!
The best part was that the whole ordeal prompted an impromptu visit from some family members. While it is always lovely to see our loved ones, but it's better when you have more than an hour and half notice to clean the entire house before their arrival. Yay!
Vanilla and I, he's fine now by the way, also decided that we in no way like where we live. Yay!
Ho hum..
Anyway.. Hopefully things will pick up soon..
Later Ya'll,
