In Sickness and in Fire

The Boy may have scarlet fever. SCARLET FEVER! We'll hear more later today when the lab tests come back. If there's any good news to come of this, it means we get to skip the enormous mass of extended family that will be at my parents' for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Here's some further nice news.

That's Mr. Scarlet Fever over there on the right, playing Xbox. It's a terrible picture, because I'm entirely too lazy to get the real camera, but look at my toasty fire! The logs and a new gas line were installed today, and I am thrilled. The Boy is happy. The cats are bewildered.

And I only have about 6,000 words to go before I finish NaNoWriMo. Woo hoo!
