1. We are home again! Sleeping in my own bed last night was glorious. Josh ended up not being able to go with us because he got sick; he went to the gastro while we were gone because he suspects the c diff is recurring. Once you get it, you never completely eradicate it, and if the ph in your stomach changes or if you take antibiotics, it can recur. He hasn't taken any antibiotics, but something in his gut must have changed to allow it to proliferate again. So he's got a poop sample bucket, and he'll get that off today to culture. *sigh* Always something. At least this time we know what it is and it won't take months of him being horrifically miserable to diagnose.

2. I got birthday cards from lyr and decynthus! <3

3. Someone in my parents' church loaned us a knee scooter that I brought back, so Josh will have that for extra mobility after his surgery on the 10th.

4. Josh hit HomeGoods for me and found a single Leuchtturm 1917 notebook in A5. Good man. :)

5. I have so much grading to do over the next couple of days. I didn't do any while I was gone. *cries*
