Day 321

After reaching her personal zen (or "inner peace" as Shifu from Kung Fu Panda would say) at the park today the kids and i harvested oranges from the backyard. Our tree gave us 16 this year. That's more than last year but less than the year before. Jax ate his first orange today, he thought it was pretty good stuff! Everyone is still coughing. I had another date with Lord Elrond tonight, we kicked some Orc and met an Ent, life is good! Laundry day tomorrow followed by a two day school week and a 5 day vacation for Bugg. We have cancelled thanksgiving this year due to sickness, and immunodeficient family members. But all parties agree its for the best. We shall just celebrate Christmas a little more exuberantly this year! G'nite to all, I'm off to dream of saving the Shire and sailing off into the sunset with Lord Elrond!
