I also was reminded of how much I love my wife. Since she didn't come to my parents at the same time I did, I waited until she showed. At one point we all heard the door open and my mom said that is was probably "Chris". I immediately got excited because I thought it was my wife instead of my brother. (Sorry Chris!)

Lexi celebrated her 10th birthday this Thanksgiving! (The big one-oh. Double digits.) We gave her treats and lots of love.

I didn't pack enough T-shirts. I assumed that I would wear my business-casual attire in the evening, but that didn't happen last night. Oh well.

Christi didn't want me uploading any pics from her camera, so no cute picture of us at the beach.

I hope the kids survived spending time with my mom this morning. I hope Sandy is surviving, too.

I've been missing Joel a little on the trip, ut all in all I haven't missed home too much. I think having Christi here helps that.

Class is going at neck-break speed, but that's fine by me. I know most of the stuff already, so it's easy to pick up on the things I didn't.

I don't know what else to write. I feel a little bored. A little sad. And not at all hungry, even though it's lunch time.

• got lost on his way to class today. Not really, I blame construction since I saw no signs for my exit. I'm glad I left 15 minutes early!
• 's class is 1/2 men 1/2 women, which surprised him.
• is privy to free pop and snacks in the kitchen at the learning center. Too bad he brought his own Dr. Pepper.
• 's "neighbor" was on Facebook.
• is able to log into work and home from his class. Probably not a good idea since it might distract him.
• feels sorry for Christi who doesn't have a car to go travel anywhere today.
• liked his bed last night. It was nice and soft.
• felt like a giant in the shower this morning. Everything was really low!
• 's wife brought him a good breakfast this morning. No donuts, but chocolate chocolate-chip muffin was good!
• thought traffic was worse than he expected for being after 8 o'clock. Does the work day start at 9 here?
• is upset with the crappy projector and mice with balls on the bottom (not optical) in his classroom.
• likes his instructor's penmanship
• sees there's someone here for the State of Nebraska. And IHOP.
• had a really rough check-in at the airport. I had like 5 bins worth of crap. My laptop, my laptop case, my belt, my CPAP machine, my CPAP machine case, and my coat.

I'm sick. It started with Saturday when I was stuffy from allergies. Then yesterday it was really bad. I took a half dozen allergy medications to no avail. Earlier in the week I thought maybe I was sick, but Christi pointed out that I was better at work (where my allergies don't bother me.) So all day yesterday I thought it was just allergies... until nightfall. I was up most of the night vomiting and running a fever. I woke up with a temp of 101.1°, but I went to work anyway because 1) I wanted to breathe cleaner air and 2) I'm in a class and would've felt bad missing it.
