SCRABBLE

So, I've asked Michael to write up here a couple of times to no avail, after all the man is pretty busy. So I figured I'd put something up. We received a couple of weeks ago two huge packages from my Dad and Kris. The first package was all magazines, which kind of blew me away. The second had all sorts of fun things including the games we asked for of SCRABBLE and Chess. Michael had been talking all kinds of game the entire time we were expecting these packages to when we got them, "Are you ready to have your butt whipped at Scrabble?" was the first thing he said when I got them out of the box.

So! A few days ago we did our first Scrabble game, and not only did I win I also got my first seven letter word of "ANTENNAE." A seventy point word, I might add. Michael only lost by about 12 points I think, he was catching up pretty fast after that. So then I look at him and ask, "I thought you were some crazy Scrabble champion?" And he smiles and says that he talks a lot of game just for intimidation purposes. He was still a really good opponent, though. We were pretty neck and neck there for the majority of the game.

So I'm pretty chuffed with myself. Michael keeps threatening my reigning scrabble champion that he's dubbed me.

Thumb update: Michael's taking out the stitches in my thumb tomorrow. I'm taking a shower today with the stitches still on so that the nail doesn't fall off as it's just stitched on right now. I'm going to have to regrow an entirely new nail as a result of this injury. So shower tonight, stitches removal tomorrow. I'm off my meds now. They were making me incredibly loopy. I've got more motion in it and can use it very very very gently.

Anyway, that's it for now. I'm getting ready to watch a movie and just relax for a bit until Mike gets back.
