Another Year, Another Post

Lately, I have been crotcheting pants with a pound of navy blue yarn I was given for Christmas; Playing my favorite card game (Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot) with my brother Atticus. The thing about KB is that you start with a blue deck, then yellow, and then advances to red and the following colors.

The Scratchy Throat Blues

Well, it's been a couple weeks since my tonsillectomy/ adenoidectomy, I've had a good Christmas, and I've been eating like I used to, but I still haven't recovered fully. Today, my throat's been rather scratchy. I do have an advantage though; everyone understands every word I say, rather than everyone interpreting me wrong. Now I do not sound like grumble-mumble-mumble.

My Last Night of Snoring

Well, tomorrow I am going to have a surgery. It was originally supposed to be a surgery where I was getting a cyst (a bump) on my ear removed. I am still getting it removed, but I am now getting my tonsils and possibly adenoids removed- all in the same surgery! On the bright side, that peppermint flavored ice cream is in season.

You are probably wondering how I wound up in a 3-in-1 surgery. Well, after the doctor took a look at my cyst, he was noticing that my voice was more or less raspy. Upon that he took a look at my tonsils and a surprised expression sprang up on his face. That surprise was that my tonsils took up enough space so that less than a third of my rear throat was blocked by my tonsils. They have always been big like that. After that he asked if I took longer to eat than everyone else, which I do. I also take rather large bites during meals, especially if I like the food.

Of course, having to recover from the surgery presents a problem. My surgery is on the 14th and my parents are planning to take me to the Polar Express on the 17th. Furthermore, I have a violin/viola recital on the 19th. I think I will be able to manage. A sore throat (noncontagious) shouldn't affect riding on a train or my violin/viola playing.

Thanksgiving Post

This Thanksgiving, I went to my grandma's house for Thanksgiving luncheon (in between dinner and lunch). Many of my family members were there and I stuffed myself like a turkey (ironic, huh?). For dessert I ate a Blueberry cheese-pie (basically a blueberry cheesecake with a pie crust). Every year we have a tetherball tournament, which I have never won. I still didn't win this time, although belive or not, my little brother Atticus got second place.

There's a limit!

The other day, I went to the cheesecake factory for the first time. For my dinner, I oredered the "Tons of Fun Burger" (well-done). When I saw that thing I know what they meant by "Tons"! Seriously! A guy can barely fit that in his mouth! Is there any wonder they put two toothpicks in their!?

Is There a Dentist in the House?

Dentist In House: The Sequel

Yesterday, my brother Atticus lost a tooth. A few months ago, my other brother Finnegan got a silver tooth due to poor dental hygiene.
