So what does JC do when he's sick? Well, he watches all the interesting movies in the house, surfs the Internet until bored, and plays computer games. I'm looking forward to my brother getting back today, 'cause if I can convince him, we'll play lots of games. Plus he has Season 6 of Stargate.

I really enjoyed having my cousins over. Josiah and Daniel and little Ethan. It was fun to do stuff with them, though since I was sick, I didn't play with them as much as I would have. Get this, they actually learned how to play chess! They got intrigued with the game Dad and I were playing on Gameknot and wanted to play. I taught them a lot, but my energy gave out and I left it to Aunt Gill. They apparently caught on quite well.

Ethan is a cute kid. You should have seen him walking around saying 'Cookie?' or "Cheese?" or something like that. I was impressed with his vocab. He warmed up to me right away. Very friendly kid.

And again, I'm sad 'cause it'll be a very long time before I get to see them again.

But hey, it's Christmas break and I get to relax with my family!
