Sunday

 Hmm, it was an ok Sunday.  There were some boring parts.  There were some normal parts.  We played some games with friends in the evening.  Our game of space base was so close with a score of 44-43-42-41.  I just managed with win with a lucky last roll, but everyone was having lucky rolls at the end.

Saturday: this and that

 Here's a picture of Isaac and his team in their new jerseys.


I realized I don't have many large containers.  I was looking for anything that would work and found the rectangular cuboid drink dispenser.  It fits perfectly! There were a lot of laughs.

Joshua and I biked to the church playground.  I thought it would be a cold, but it actually a lovely day.

Friday: home keeping

I continued working on the basement this morning.  It's still slow, but I am making obvious progress.  I went through the picture frame box and found some nice memories.


Ben and Joshua have the same smile!

I also baked a lot of bread: pizza, sandwich sourdough, normal sourdough, raisin bread

Thursday: evening

I dropped Isaac off at rock climbing and went back to work.  It was a little sad, but I've been a little behind and didn't get caught up over break.  After practice was done Isaac wanted to take this picture for Great-Grandma.

When we got home, Joshua was waiting for us.  He had gotten a huge trophy for sticking with piano for two years. He was rather excited about it.

Wednesday: lunch

I had lunch with one of my karate instructors today.  (We do this once a month.)  We wore the same sweatshirt today!  It's a really comfy sweatshirt.  The black version was on sale the other month, so I bought that one too.


I biked to lunch even though it was rather cold.  Construction is still crazy annoying, but I've somewhat figured out how to get around.  I can get out of the neighborhood on our one-lane back street.  After school pickup I take the highway to James and it only takes about twice as long to get home as normal.  But considering normally it only takes seven minutes we're really not doing too bad.

Tuesday: basement

Today was fall break.  I spent the morning cleaning the basement.  It sounds boring, but it's rather fun.  I'm getting closer to finishing the basement, but it just takes so much time to do a good job.

Today was also my first day with a belay partner and it was a lot of fun.

Monday: more done

I got a bunch of things done again today!  My to-do list is the lowest it's been since I started recording in 2019.  My next two Mondays are a lot more busy so I don't know that I'll get it much lower in the near future.

More construction has started, which closes Riley for two weeks.  Traffic today was a mess.  It took me 20 minutes to get home after picking up the kids instead of seven minutes.  I'll try something a little different tomorrow.

It also (finally) rained tonight.  While the weather has been beautiful, it is October and low 80s are too warm.  The rain will bring slightly cooler temperatures.
