today's tidbits

today i became a citizen. there was this frail little old lady that asked me how old i was when i shook her hand. i replied eighteen and she said i look twelve! come on genes, catch up to my age!

yuriy called me about his pulmonary function test and his chest x-ray. fun stuff! our conversation went something like this:

me: so what'd they say

him: there's something in my chest

me: oh no, what's wrong

him: it's bad

me: *over-dramatically imagining the worst scenario* 

him: there's a turtle in my chest

me: there's a turtle in your chest??

him: there's a turtle in my chest

SO, for final news of today, there is a turtle in yuriy's lungs just swimming around and i'm actually really twelve.
