Day 61

Vlad's as good as he can be. We're still very thankful.

Most of the home repairs are over. The guys come back tomorrow to do a lot of cleanup work, and the gutters. And then there's the sheetrock inside where it leaked.

DirecTV guy came to recalibrate the dish, but he didn't have a big enough ladder. On Sundays they don't carry the 40-foot ladder. He said it like it's against their religion. WHATever. Another night of no Olympics.

But we have 8 of the 10 Oscar-nominated films to watch. Up in the Air was awesome. But last night we watched Couples' Retreat (NOT a contender), which was nowhere near as funny as I expected. But it was OK.

There's nothing extraordinary in Vlad's schedule this week. We're hoping things calm down a bit.
