Well, so much for laughing in the face of the sickness that has plagued the people of Vicksburg for at least a month now. We both have been catching up on Blockbuster rentals as we pass each other the thermometer or a Kleenex — with hopes of sleep coming to the rescue. We were not thrilled with the season finale of Dexter but highly recommend American Gangster. Honestly, I think we'd both much rather be at work!Man, it's miserable being sick. We haven't been sick at the same time since we contracted a stomach virus from the kids we both babysat in college. And, we had only one bathroom in our Glennray Tutor rental on South 16th Street. Not fun! Some guy who used to be Olivia's neighbor had the audacity to come by and visit unannounced. After alarming him about the virus, he just came in, sat down and drank all the Sprite Olivia's mom had just kindly brought to us. Weird...Lauchlin's family was in town this weekend, even though she was sick. It was supposed to be a day they would spend together because it was the 5th anniversary of her father's death. We visited Cedar Hill Cemetery and poured Scotch on his grave (in a respectful manner, of course.) We missed out on the opportunity to play the coolest game in the world....Rock Band...you know Lauchlin must have been sick if she passed up drinks AND a turn on the microphone! Lauchlin's aunt and Olivia allegedly had a random conversation which abruptly ended with both of them passing out on the sofa. Gotta go...time to take our temperatures again! We will probably be home again tomorrow, but please do not come drink our Sprite.
