Pean having a "sick" day.

Hello family!
Just been spending the past while getting all caught up on your posts. It's kinda fun letting it wait for a while, then getting a big cache of updates. I caught a bad cold... this is what you get from hangin with old folks all the time, so I stayed home today. I've been sorting out my situation, applied for a morgage pre-approval, and been cooking up a storm! My lastest favorite recipe: homemade soup stock. Fills the house with delicious smells.
There's been a twist regarding our house hunting. Our buddy Jack, who we were going to go in with on a large place, has been strongly advised by his "legal representation" not to buy until his divorce is finalized. As in, wait to see where the chips fall or she can take the house too! That could have turned out especially awful for J and I if things turned ugly. So it's back to just J and I looking. We'll have to broaden our search to Parkdale and The Junction (gasp!). Not quite as fancy as High Park, but you can't let the occasional run-in with a crack addict or an ugly prostitute wreck your day, can you? In the long run, I think this is a good thing.
Should be the last summer weekend at the cottage, and time to break out J's birthday present. His and her's matching Carhart work coveralls! I'm even getting our names embroidered on them. Guys love it when we dress like them, right?
Love the updates, can't wait to see the new little bugger Nicole.
