Avoiding S

Poor S has a bad cold. He even stayed home from school today. So I have been avoiding him as much as is humanly possible, which is not easy when you're married to someone. Yesterday at the movies (Meet the Spartans--avoid at all costs unless you enjoy wasting your valuable time) I held his arm, not his hand and did not eat after him when he snuck in a bag of mixed snacks. I am constantly washing my hands and using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, Monk-like. That's what they tell you to do in order to avoid catching colds! Let's see if it works.

I worked all weekend. On Saturday Mudflap and I went out on patrol in my district, although it almost didn't happen b/c we were both angry with each other. I was angry at him b/c he went out on Friday night patrol with C. and I did not think it was safe for him to ride with me beginning Saturday morning on only a couple of hours sleep. He was angry with me for even questioning his sleep-deprived cop abilities. I threatened to ask our superiors' opinions on the matter; he threatened to not go patrol with me if I did so. In the end we went but I told him I was not going to allow him to use his weapon if necessary.

What's funny is the district used ME as their Spanish-speaking translator when we went on duty! Man, desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose! There was even a request over the radio to send the Spanish-speaking reserve unit to translate at a bad accident scene, which I think is so funny (the Spanish-speaking, not the accident). Boy, was this an unfortunate scene. A Ford Expedition vs. a Chevy Cavalier. The 3 passengers in the Chevy never had a chance. One of them died at the scene and the 2 others were extremely critical. It makes me want to get a bigger vehicle, gas prices be damned. I am not kidding.

Sunday I went to C.'s church to work their annual health fair, as I did last year. It's always such a lovely event! I love working events where they feed you--breakfast and lunch! Today and tomorrow I'm at Job #2 all day for more accreditation visits. It's nice to have a break from Job #1, although I miss my office.

This week is Valentina's Day and our 2-year wedding anniversary! We want to go eat sushi off a girl (aka "body sushi" or "Nyotaimori") but I'm having a hard time finding a place. The restaurants don't advertise this service on their websites.

In Grammy news, my love Levon won his Grammy! Also The Band got a lifetime achievement Grammy. Finally, the Grammy's show really has become quite boring. I could only watch about 15 minutes of it before my brain synapses started to shut down in protest. But I'm glad for Levon and it was nice to see Robbie Robertson in the audience, looking hot as always!
