- I had a rough couple of weeks, but am doing better now (sorry for disappearing like that, Karen)
- Today started out gloomy, but turned into a beautiful sunny Indian Summer day
- I got off my butt and got some Halloween decorating done – pumpkins and ghosts garland over the garage, “landing strip” outline for the driveway
- Mel came over to play with the kids, so I was able to clean the upstairs bathrooms (can my life be any more exciting? :P)
- We took the kids for a walk and then watched the latest episodes of “Castle” and “StarGate: Universe” on Hulu
[In the next couple days, I am going to try and fill-in the missing days 17-33]

- Got done with a project at work, only a week late :-)
- Another work request that had a potential to be a real pain in the ass ended up being an easy fix
- Mel is coming over tomorrow, which means I can stay at work late and catch up on things, if I need to
- Got both Damien and Sergey to cooperate and try on socks so that I could sort them (life will be a lot easier in the socks department when they are wearing the same size :-)
- Last load of towels is in the dryer, and then no more laundry until Saturday!

- Bill let me sleep in again, which is great, since I have been feeling really run down lately
- My parents had lots of fun watching the kids play via Skype video call
- Laundry is done and folded (except for the towels, their turn will come tomorrow)
- Finally went through Xavier’s clothes and replaced his 9-month tops with 12-month ones
- It did not rain tonight, so we were able to take the kids on a long walk, by the end of which they all clonked out (Sergey fought the good fight the longest, as per usual)
