Hum. So today's plans have been completely shot to hell, but I think I'm okay with that. It was supposed to be an errand day, but the car is out of commission until six o'clock (I didn't know there was a HUGE difference between the time it takes for the 90K and the 100K check-ups. And I also didn't realize we'd missed the 90K check-up. Oops.) However, it is a perfect day to work outside. The last decent day to work outside for the rest of the week, in fact. And, since I built a frame for the screen for sifting the rocks from dirt (from the patio), I can make real progress today, all on my own.

I still feel bad about Geoff's heat exhaustion the other day.

I am patting myself on the back for yesterday, though. I got everything but the laundry done before friends came over to play Pillars of the Earth (I think that's right). Fun game, but it requires more sustained thought than I'm used to. Of course, that's part of what made it fun. The main thing that made it fun, though, was having like-minded, nerdy adults over to play with. I've missed that.

Bad thing about yesterday was that Babe pooped his pants again while the friends were over (their older daughter was more or less looking after him for us), and we didn't find out until they left. Oh, the poor boy! Hopefully that will remind him why using the toilet is a good thing, but if not... *shrugs* I have regained hope that this too shall pass. (hardeeharhar)

But now, I need to figure out something substantial to eat than kefir so that I can get out and dig up more of the patio.

Cheers!

Pre-flight to-dos

- Make a "book" for Babe from folded-up newsprint. Or two, one blank and one with a story and simple line drawings to color (would require writing and drawing).

- buy more markers (washable) or small crayon set

- get more oil from naturopath
