HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY AND A MEME
Jul. 4th, 2012 09:04 amHello to everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your summer so far. I haven't been around too much lately. I have been reading but not writing, working but not resting much, and just plain dealing with a lot of stuff. I find the end of June/beginning of July is a very busy time of year.
The good: Football: Spain won the Euro, although Germany lost in the semi-final. River Plate in Argentina has made it back from the'B' league to the 'A' this season. America de Cali won their first year in the 'B' but have to put in another year and win the league again in order to get back to the 'A'. And Atletico Madrid won the Europa League.
Personal: I finally talked to Olivia via Skype since she left for the West over two months ago. Skype is totally awesome. She was able to show me her apartment, and I got to talk to Joseph and see him as well. He will be 2 years old this month. And as for Sean, well, he had the best report card of his life! All great marks and the added delight of finding out that he is somewhat of a math whiz! Hooray!
The bad: My sister had a hip replacement operation that she needed, but during the process the surgeon managed to fracture the femur in her leg, thus causing major problems during the surgery. The poor thing has had a bad time of it, but is now on the way to recovery. The surgery was June 16th and she's only just now feeling a bit better. The hip replacement itself was successful, but having to deal with the added recovery from the leg fracture has added to her recuperation time. However, as a school teacher, she has the summer off in which to heal properly.
And I had a little bit of time in which to complete a meme I've been dying to do ever since I saw it on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
