Teeter, totter; bread and water

Up:

How crazy Jeremy's schedule will be this semester was over hyped.
It won't be any worse then last semester, and perhaps better.

Down:

Shingles. Ouch and itchy and much frustration. They're better one day, miserable again the next.
2 weeks of annoyance now. If you have no idea what shingles are, google it.

Up:

Beautiful weather. Beautiful child riding his bike. Red rocks. Sunshine.

Down:

I haven't been able to exercise much, the stiffness is settling back in.

Up:

I think my normal face is finally back, and my new hair is curly.

Down:

Any tips on styling short, curly hair? I look a bit homeless sometimes.

Up:

Frankie's current obsession (since last fall) is dinosaurs.

Down:

I can't pronounce dinosaur names to save my life.
Some of them are about 25 syllables.

Up:

We're loving streaming Netflix from our Wii. It was fabulous while I was stuck on the couch.

Down:

Frankie loves the Land Before Time... he loves 4 more then 1.
He hasn't yet realized we can also stream 5-16.

Up:

I bought some adorable scrapbook paper last week,
and I think I've finally figured out how I'm going to tackle scrapbooking
without trying to make it all-inclusive

Down:

I need to clean and de-junk our extra room so that I can organize my stuff

Up:

Life is mostly good.
And the chocolate Cadbury Easter eggs have arrived in stores to prove it.
