Hellooooooooooooooooooo~ Well, with the sale of the house came TONS of work! We signed the papers on Tuesday morning and have to be out by THIS Saturday night at 11pm! Just Baby V, my college DD, and I had the movers there on Wednesday - a WHOLE ENTIRE 18 wheeler FULL to the top! DD watched the baby and I packed the rest of the stuff. I slept on the floor of the house that night and baby slept in his port-a-crib. Up at 2am to get on the road to get in line for the first ferry to the rock. I dropped Baby off at daycare and headed to the "drop zone." Then a full day of unloading into the garage of our yet unfinished house. We got done at 4pm yesterday and I went to work till 5. I think I fell asleep BEFORE my head hit hit pillow! Today, it's work. Tomorrow, back to the house for a few runs to the dump and to recycle some of DH's old electronics in the city. Then, load up the remains of whatever's left in the house and wipe out drawers, cupboards, and then and back to the island. The cleaners are coming today to do a good clean beforethe new owners move in. I'm dreading holiday traffic on the way back, but hey!---can't complain---SOLD the house. Yes, at a 60% reduction and after over a year, but it's sold. Sigh. One question--SHould I dig up the St. Joseph or leave it there? lol. This Sunday, we are going to GO TO THE BEACH and have a weiner roast picnic with another family from school. YAY! A real day off!!!!!! *********Dee, Trekaren, I hope you feel better.********* Baby V is on a 20 day course of antibiotics since I took him to the allergist and they think he has had a year long sinus infection, which ALL the other docs I took him to missed dianosing. It appears they are correct, as his nose has cleared up but he is having the worst intestinal issues I've ever seen him have as a result of the antibiotics, but there is only about 5 days left so I will continue and see if the "cure" lasts. As for Monday, I think I will work on my garage and packing , as the move from our rental to the new house is about 3 weeks away. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Okay, I'm done. Everyone sounds like life is GOOD! Enjoy the weekend. This week, I have been internet impovrished and no internet when I'm away, so see you guys on Monday.

I can post again!!! Anything which can go wrong on the internet connections went wrong this week. I keep my fingers crossed that it stays as is right now. Taking my last few days in consideration, I can only agree with the first quote and like the others.

"I bet the next season the no sitting out the same player in back to back challenges will be in place again." The "not sitting out the same player in back-to-back challenges" rule has always been in effect, but it only comes into play when there are two challenges in one episode, e.g, a reward challenge and an immunity challenge. So far this season, all of the challenges have been a combined reward/immunity challenge. I think that if they go back to two tribes, which they might because they're down to 12 players, so it would be two teams of 6, they could do separate challenges. Of course, since they need to devote time to the folks on Redemption Island and what happens with someone on RI trying to get fire tokens from a player still in the game, they probably don't have time for two challenges. I'm just kinda surprised that we haven't seen any of the players on Sandra's team(s) complaining about her always being the one to sit out the challenges.

Here's the recap! https://ew.com/tv/recaps/survivor-44-recap-episode-10/ On Wednesday afternoon my computer died. Took it in Thursday AM, and now have a brand new little laptop. It's been stressful setting it up!
