Aftermath

 Turned out that duck was a goose, and the first one DiL had done in all her life- and it was delicious, even though I like goose even less than duck. Hubby is a dork, can't even remember what number two told him! Cassian and Flavius brought forth all the new toys they had gotten- there had been a book and puzzle sale at Amazon. Nice toys indeed, and fun to play with! The sad thing is that Samsung cat is very ill- in comparison to him Vaire cat moves like a teen, though she still runs against walls and furniture continuously. But as long as she feeds and purrs and runs around she can stay. Otherwise daughter will quit talking to me, she said. It´s my duty to give Vaire cat some time for getting her shit together- literally! Samsung does neither feed nor drink or move at all, if possible. DiL is at the vet right now...
Son number four will be on his way to our house tomorrow instead of today. A relatively short distance, done by car in two and a half hour (if you drive a tad faster than allowed), but by train it takes more than four hours. Now I know why son hates travelling by train! I remembered in time that there´s son´s favourite working jeans waiting next to my sewing basket for mending. And next to the jeans there´s the infamous knitted heart waiting for being sewn together. Uh oh- seems there´s a lot of work to do tomorrow! Tomorrow is okay, today definitely not. Super Bowl lasted way too long, I went to bed at four fifteen in the morning, and the only thing I missed was the halftime show. Shocking, isn´t that so? But I did all the daily chores, only at a very slow pace. Even prepared lunch for three (son was late with telling us that he´d come tomorrow), though sneezing and coughing (and the loss of taste and smell) got worse after yesterday- I could pose as Rudolph easily, only that no one needs a reindeer at the present!
