I am terribly sorry for not getting back. Usually I pride myself on being prompt, but yeah, these are unusual circumstances. I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, so today I've been trying to do everything holding a frozen bag of peas to one cheek or another--a friend came over to help me make soup and stuff that I can blend my portion up to eat something tonight besides pudding, yogurt, and milkshakes (though I did have tomato soup for lunch). Eating every 3-4 hours is annoying, plus I have to have eaten something just before I take my anti-inflammatory and antibiotic meds . . . yuck. But hey, I think I'm doing really well for being only the 2nd day--someone told me I should have been sleeping the whole first day and be pretty out of it for the next one as well.
Let's see if I can get all of the guesses in here (I missed a T before, sorry!). No W's or F's, sorry. I think this makes it MUCH easier to guess.
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't get it real soon.
