A Sick Kid And A Big Surprise

I am not even going to tell you about the disgusting images I found when I Googled "sore throat"

Wyatt is still sick this morning.
He's a little horse (I love saying that) and really tired and his throat looks pretty angry, but I've decided it's snotty angry not pusy angry.
Nothing a little rest and salt water won't cure.
Ohhhh, I know, how about a neti pot!

I could get him one for his birthday tomorrow, and look, they even come in blue!

Enough about Wyatt and his oogy throat, I have some big news.

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting here playing scrabble reading War and Peace when the dogs started going bananas.
Over their mayhem and my shouts to be quiet I could hear a faint knock at the door.
You know how your mind goes into overtime when something out of the expected happens...
I knew I wasn't expecting a package from UPS or Fedex and the Trailer Park People are all current on their rent, so that only left two options.
There was either a goat on the road or the Craigslist Killer had come for the free couches.
I got to the door, called back the dogs, looked outside and saw a man standing there.
No clue.
It could still go either way.
Would it be a rogue goat or the killer?
He said my name.
This narrowed the playing field a little, but I knew he wasn't an ex husband and I don't have a brother so I was still in the dark.
I said, "Yes, can I help you?"
He said, "Jason."
At this point I did a quick scan for cameras in hopes that balloons would start falling and he would hand me a big oversized novelty check but before I finished imagining what it was I could have won the bells went off in my brain and I realized it was JASON!
Duh, Jason!
My Grampy's nephew Jason from Minnesota!
Gahh, whatever, of course it was Jason.
So Jason is a brand new bus delivery person and he was delivering a bus form somewhere far away to California and the brand new bus broke down and they picked it up and towed it to somewhere close to here and he couldn't find our phone number and you can't 411 us so he drove out and surprised me!

This is what my face would have looked like if I was thin and blonde

I love it when stuff like that happens.

He stayed for dinner and we had so much fun talking about family and his travels in the bus but sadly it was going to just be a short visit.
His bus was ready first thing this morning and now he's headed for Oakland, but hopefully someday another bus will break down and he'll be back.
Until then, Happy Trails to my Kinda Cousin Jason!
