What's been happenin'

It's been a tough week for us after our return from San Diego. Inna and I have been fighting something that turned out to be a sinus infection. Took the day off on Thursday in order to see the quack and get my prescription of antibiotics. Inna though has opted for the more daring, medication-free route, and seems to be doing pretty well. Gratefully, the drugs are beginning to take a noticable effect as today I'm feeling almost like new, with just a hint of a sore throat remaining. Sadly, the transformation didn't occur in time for Gena's birthday bash on Saturday which we were forced to miss :( In fact, Saturday was pretty much a sh!tty day for the both of us, bunged up and overdosing on hot-toddies to overcome the congestion and frustration with being sick.

Gratefully, we were able to squeeze in a short visit to Leane & William on Friday before their departure to Mexico for the holidays. Leane amazed us all with her ability to relate to little'n's having little Danny in hysterics for most of the evening. The ordered in curry was very much appreciated considering our state of health.

On Sunday, we spent a few hours at the in-laws toasting to the good fortune of Papa/Dedushka who enjoyed his birthday last week. This essentially serves as the anniversary of our meeting. I met Inna at the small birthday bash thrown for Alexander Gorbikov back in 1998, and well, the rest is history :)

As far as my computer goes, we've established that the memory and video card are dead. New items are being shipped and hopefully it will be back up and running by the end of the week. In the mean time there is a mad panic rush to find tickets for Inna and Danny who've decided to join me on my trip to South Africa at the end of the year. Not a good time to start looking for flights for the week over Christmas and New Year!!!
