Sorry about the unfortunate homecoming, askye. I guess it would have been worse if they hadn't pulled the spread off the bed?
Having not been a parent, I generally only judge parents if
- they don't read to their children
- they leave their children in harm's way
- they do not remove them from theaters when their noise level bothers others
Yay, visas! It's great that you get along so well with your in-laws. I know people who would be sending anonymous messages to the visa people about their in-laws' fondness for dynamite.
• they do not remove them from theaters when their noise level bothers others
Also restaurants. I also totally judged a woman who yelled at me when I stopped her kid from pulling a 10 foot high store display on top of his head.
Yay for Biyi's parents!! That's wonderful!
On the "wow y'all have experiences" tip, anyone got experience with shin splints? I've had them on and off since January and it's making me crazy. Every time I think they're healed, the next time I even try to do a TINY bit, they're hurting like crazy again. I got insoles and stuff so I'm supposed to be good there, but apparently not. My roommate thinks I should go to the doctor, but I feel weird asking my GP about it, but even weirder calling some other doc (orthopedics? Sports medicine? No idea) about it--and I really dont want to pay for two visits!
In other news, I am having vague memories of being in the same place I am right now four or five years ago. Madness.
I have, meara. Only thing that healed them was time not running and new running shoes.
meara, have you tried doing exercises to strengthen your calves?
Aims, I wasn't going to say anything, but I did notice that you guys don't seem to have very many books. After all, I don't think there's a bookshelf in the bathroom (yet).
a bookshelf in the bathroom
Would the pile of books on the back of the toilet and on the laundry detergent container count?

I suppose, although something formal really would be preferable.
Hm. Now I'm realizing that I don't have a bookshelf in the bathroom! Does a magazine rack full of old Smithsonians count?
Great news about Biyi's parents, bt.
but I'm not going to make myself crazy with it.
Sounds very wise, Kate. I love the pictures you post of you and Rose (?) (Is her name Rose or am I misremembering?). You both look incredibly happy.
