Grace in Small Things – 34/365

Published by under The Daily Grind

  1. I had a rough couple of weeks, but am doing better now (sorry for disappearing like that, Karen)
  2. Today started out gloomy, but turned into a beautiful sunny Indian Summer day
  3. I got off my butt and got some Halloween decorating done – pumpkins and ghosts garland over the garage, “landing strip” outline for the driveway
  4. 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)
  5. 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]

  1. Got done with a project at work, only a week late :-)
  2. Another work request that had a potential to be a real pain in the ass ended up being an easy fix
  3. Mel is coming over tomorrow, which means I can stay at work late and catch up on things, if I need to
  4. 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 :-)
  5. Last load of towels is in the dryer, and then no more laundry until Saturday!

  1. Bill let me sleep in again, which is great, since I have been feeling really run down lately
  2. My parents had lots of fun watching the kids play via Skype video call
  3. Laundry is done and folded (except for the towels, their turn will come tomorrow)
  4. Finally went through Xavier’s clothes and replaced his 9-month tops with 12-month ones
  5. 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)
