Daughter age 8 came home from school with a swollen finger. She accidentally hit her hand against the playground equipment as she was chasing boys. She was afraid to tell her teacher in case shots were involved in dealing with a broken finger. We got to drive two towns away to get to a pediatrics branch with an x-ray machine before they closed. In the end, they didn't do an x-ray, just recommended taping it (which they would have said to do even if an x-ray had shown a fracture.) So we got in, school's out for two weeks and she won't have to write, and as long as she stops chasing boys on the playground, she'll be okay.

Santa came in a Sears sleigh today and brought the new dryer! The nice thing about getting new appliances that belong to someone else's house is that you don't actually have to pay for them (aside from rent, I mean), and yet you can still enjoy them. Not that I love laundry, but it is sure easier to do with the proper tools.

Also by Santa express, an ARC from Random House/Egmont arrived today. The preprinted label is addressed to me, from Random House. Inside was the book. They don't have my address and I didn't win a contest anywhere, but it is a book that I was looking forward to reading. Mysterious! So--if it originated from anyone around here, thank you!
