It's been a tough couple of weeks. David's reaction to the Plavix was so severe he ended up in the ER not once, but twice. Last Tuesday was especially bad because his hands and wrists were so swollen I got to feed him breakfast. He slept and moaned a lot and even without the miserable, dejected look on his face it was obvious he was feeling hideous because he didn't tease me all day! It was especially painful because it's the end of the semester and I had four final papers due, which I couldn't bring myself to care about at all. Somehow school seems so much less important than it did at the beginning of the semester. But, David's better and the semester is over!
Of course, as soon as David was able to move his fingers without intense pain he started working on our new website design. This is something he's had in the works for a month, now, but those pesky health problems kept getting in the way. Despite his deeply perfectionist nature he's decided he's done with the first round of improvements, though he still has all sorts of neat things planned. I, of course, have nothing to do with it, except to wander by while he's working on it and announce very seriously that I don't like the color scheme. I'm so helpful. You can be helpful too and tell us if it works on all browsers. We adore Firefox, and David's quite taken with Opera, but Explorer drives him absolutely insane. It's not coded at all properly, so while you can write all sorts of neat code to look cool in other browsers, it looks like crap on Explorer. Not that I understand the coding bit at all, but the looking good (or not) I definitely do, and Explorer has serious drawbacks.
At any rate, David's feeling all better, we've been running a couple times and we're very excited about being at home in Boise for the holidays and Vegas for New Year's. Well, actually being in Las Vegas isn't so exciting, but getting to see David's family is. We've been talking about camping New Year's eve, but I think it might be too cold, even with all our fancy gear. Maybe we'll just watch movies, instead.
