updates on everything

Anthony: He actually walked around the ICU the other day and ate some pureed food. His surgeries are scheduled to commence tomorrow, barring any unforeseen delays.

Me: Suffice to say, Friday was a rough day, probably the roughest my marriage has ever had to withstand so far. To this point, I've never doubted the foundation and strength of my marriage, but the events leading to Friday really put those to the test. I was nervous for the first time in the 10+ years that we've been together.
The end of the day proved to have a positive outcome, but it took a lot of soul-searching and honesty to get there. I'm so glad this happened, as I feel we are even stronger now than ever before.
Dan: Poor Dan. The Chargers lost and he is so sad. He actually took it way better than I anticipated. He is such a sports guy and it's one of those things that I'll kinda support, but never really get into. Unless we're talking hockey....
Lola: she is fabulous. just fabulous.
Elise: also fabulous and ridiculously happy to be home.

A side note: I have eaten so much garlic tonight, I doubt I'll be able to lie down for at least a few more hours due to the wicked garlic-induced heartburn I've brought upon myself. For the football game today I made tapenade, canellini bean with kale spread and artichoke bruschetta toppings. All with loads of garlic. I'm permeating garlic out of my pores.
