• Today we went to see Alina first. She has a cold. There was a lot running from that little nose. She seemed to recognize us but she was cranky. All she wanted to do was to be held. She cried more today than in all our previous visits. Seems like runny noses make Alina cranky.
After all the money that people spent on toys for Alina, she did not seem to be interested in them today. All she wanted was to be held and chew my watch. Seems like shiny watches trumped noisy toys. Probably just for today. Luckily my Swiss Army, Sam’s Club Special watch is good for 100 meters of water. There was probably that much slobber on it when I put it back on.
• We went to Globus, a Russian Wal-Mart, after visiting Alina. It has a restaurant which is relatively cheap so we ate lunch. Stacye ate beef and rice. I ate pizza with tuna. I didn’t know it had tuna because I don’t read Russian. Tuna on pizza is WAY overrated. One might say that it’s downright nasty. I don’t think that tuna and pizza belong in the same restaurant let alone the same pizza. Spent the rest time at Globus buying groceries for a week.
• Supper was a sandwich in the room. It’s too cold to walk around at night. Too cold to walk around in the day for that matter.
• Tomorrow we go to court. I’ve been told 5 things that I must remember when I’m in court.
1. No Jokes
2. Call the judge your honor
3. No jokes
4. No Jokes
5. No Jokes
• Apparently they don’t want me telling jokes.

That runny nose is probably a teething thing. Enjoy the snuggling because when she feels better, she won't want all that cuddling anymore (if she's like our kiddos). Yall try to stay warm. What day is gotcha day?
ReplyDeleteThe "No jokes" statement reminds me of Edna in the Incredibles movie and her "No capes" policy. With about the same accent, too. Keeping you guys in my prayers for court!

Hi! This may be the first comment I've left on your blog (not sure though). I'm cracking up over the tuna pizza thing. YUCK!! At first I thought you ordered that on purpose. So glad that wasn't the case.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in court tomorrow and remember no jokes! We were told the same thing in Moscow, and when I get nervous I tend to make really lame jokes so it was difficult for me to keep myself in check during our court hearing.
I'll be stalking all day tomorrow hoping for an update.
Congrats,
Karyn
