There's never that much to report, really. Kids go to school, I hound Two about doing his PT correctly and his math accurately (he understands the concepts for both those things. It's the quality that needs work), I go to the store once a week and smaller errands occasionally, and I started sewing on the quilt remake I'm doing for my SIL's bday ( ( Read more... )

I've been eyeing this one for a little while, and decided to do it this afternoon. Of course, that was before I knew we were going to have a cat crisis, but thankfully I wasn't needed between 2-4p so it turned out ok.

Item #1: Maine crew went home this morning. I have a long catch-up post to do regarding their visit, Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping and Fantastic Beasts. But this is not that post.

Item #2: I finished writing my Inside Out (Pixar) crackfic. The Control Center denizens observe their human having sex. I blame my daughter for this one ( Read more... )

The roads really haven't changed at all since we returned on Mon, but the Superintendent decided today that he couldn't wait forever, and that we could all manage with slightly modified bus routes until the plows widen the streets.
