I’m still sick, but everyone else is still okay. 

Pi’s hat now has to be retired after many loyal years of being a hat.  It’s kind of sad.  The top has been ripping (partially my fault) for a little while now.  He tried to repair it, and it just isn’t going to work.  He figures he’ll just have to find a new hat to rock out, but the old one will be missed.

UPDATE: He has found the replacement hat online.  For his anniversary present, I bought it for him.  It was a good price, and I think he’ll like it.

It was Dancey’s birthday yesterday, so I made her a simple little bracelet.  It’s just blue hemp done in a spiral pattern.  She was working today when I dropped it off.  First, I asked her for a bagel bag.  While she was looking for the marker I asked for, I dropped the bracelet in the bag.  Then Sparkley, who was standing next to me, asks her for a cup of water with ice.  While her back was turned, I wrote on the bag "Happy Birtday Dancey" and drew a smiley face.  She handed the cup of water over, and I gave her the bag.  At first, she thought it was just a bag with a message on it.  She said, "Thank you!  I’m going to keep it forever!"  She was totally surprised that there was something inside.  Anyway, she loved the bracelet and put it on immediately.  After talking for a few more minutes, she absently crumpled up the bag and threw it away in the garbage behind her.  "Did you just throw the bag away?" I asked.  We three laughed really hard for a moment.  Sparkley said, "Wow.  That would have been really awkward if you guys weren’t such good friends."

I managed to take two quick naps, one of them in the living room with the door closed so that Tots couldn’t cause too much trouble.  I awoke after what couldn’t have been more than five minutes to him, standing on the coffee table, pulling tissues out of the box one by one.  When I put him on the floor, he stuffed the tissue that was in his hand onto my nose and made a raspberry noise.  Just trying to help?

When he napped later, I laid down with him, which made me feel a little better.

Finally, my evening ended with eating pizza and Tots going to sleep okay.
