Malaria Day

Today is Malaria Awareness Day. So...go out there and be aware of Malaria. It kills a lot of people every year, and it's completely unnecessary.

It's also raining again. We had such beautiful weather on Saturday (like...75 and BRIGHT sunshine). Sunday was a little cooler, with drizzly sprinkles punctuated by moments of sunshine. Today, it's raining harder than I've seen it rain here. I got soaked on my way into work.

I'm pretty OK with it, though, because we ACCEPTED AN OFFER ON OUR HOUSE!!! By the end of May, we will be the proud owners of no real estate. Hooray!!! The wheels of life were a little mired in mud and slightly rusty, but they're starting to turn again.

We also got word from the "other" front. Things are picking up steam, and Ben has booked his flight back to Omaha. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly, for Scooter's sake.

Along those lines, a disturbing piece of news about a divorce proceedings in Florida (link here). You never think it'll happen to you until it happens to you. And this, boys and girls, is why we don't ever, ever bring guns into court rooms in which we are parties to the lawsuit. Duh. Those things can be emotionally charged. I'm glad things remained "civil" during our proceedings, at least. Generally, though, the ex only has a spine when there is a safe distance between him and anyone with half a mind to bring charges against him.
