04 OCT 2008 : SATURDAY
Amanda went clothes shopping with Carrie, although I am unsure if she bought anything. I watched Lonan Kai. He has had a series of fevers recently, but is otherwise cheerful.
We went to our first baby sign language class at Shannon’s place with many members of out former PEPS group. It was good to see them again. The instructor was cool; both of her parents are hearing impaired so she learned ASL very early.
I watched two commentary tracks on the Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle DVD while Amanda and LK slept. They weren’t nearly as good as the movie itself. I also multitasked by reading various tech documentation.
05 OCT 2008 : SUNDAY
Amanda went grocery shopping, but not with Mandy as she had gone yesterday because there was a football game today.
There was a work group party in the P-Patch, so I spent much time clearing vegetation and pruning. We had borrowed a wood chipper, so everything got munched down for compost or mulch. We did not really finish breaking everything down before the chipper had to be returned, so the remains will have to wait until next year probably. Time moves slow in P-Patch land.
We had pesto for dinner. I have been making a lot of pesto regularly and freezing it because basil has been cheap for the past eight or so weeks at the farmer’s market.
LK’s latest fever broke sometime today, which was good for him. It was also good for me because he could then go to daycare tomorrow rather than staying home. It was a struggle to get him to sleep, though; he had been going nuts for hours. I remarked to Amanda that during his freakouts I always think back to his first four months of life when he was like that practically all of the time. So what’s a couple of hours of screaming now? Although he is considerably louder at seven months.
06 OCT 2008: MONDAY
Amanda is a work. LK is at daycare. I will do the usual combination of working and looking for more work and hopefully go to the gym.
It is my birthday today. Apparently due to various medical conditions I am actually 56 years old. Oops.
