Thursday: T. drove them both ways
Sep. 7th, 2023 03:31 pmT. brought A. in to school AND brought her back, because Unified Basketball has not started yet and he does not have a shift today so he had no conflict. Woot!
I worked on the Ninjago set. The end is in sight! I am really glad I bought this set, even tho at the time I was wondering what the heck I was thinking, but the suspended rail/tram/wtf is _so_ _cute_!!! It’s been very calming to listen to Odd Lots podcasts and do lego. Getting up early to make sure that A.’s lunch will be satisfying for her is difficult, and I’m a little out of it all day, but it was particularly nice today because M. and I got to walk at 8 again. It was muggy already, but not too hot, and she has a shift at the library that she leaves for at 9:15 and gets back from lunch after around 12:30 or 1 pm, which would mean walking in the worst of the heat or giving up on the walk. This way, we got the walk without too much pain.
I’ve been reading more magazines: another Disney Files and a Catalyst.
Last night I was wondering when I’d get the last of my tax documents for 2022; this afternoon, they arrived. So the momentary pause in mandatory tasks is ending, but hopefully I’ll get through it and return to the fun stuff.
I also took down the Happy Whatever banner. I thought about leaving it up until A.’s birthday, but it was starting to annoy me when I walked under it. I removed another Wemo plug that was misbehaving from A.’s room, and replaced it with an Amazon plug that used to plug into the fairy lights in there and which I _knew_ worked. So her noise machine and/or lights not responding problem seems to be fixed again.
