So I ran the junior championships at my curling club, which involved being at the club from 3:30-10:30ish Wednesday, 6:30-11ish Thursday-Saturday, and 7:30-5 Sunday, but only because I had a plane to catch, because thanks to tiebreaker hell the event actually went to about 9:30 Sunday and my capable deputy handled the final match and the wrap-up ( Read more... )

Tuesday: nap.
Wednesday: two naps.
Thursday: one nap, plus shower omg.
Friday: no naps! I actually put on eyeliner! Finished making a present for my nephew (whom I'm going to visit today), and also picked up a birthday present for my friend's two-year-old (birthday tomorrow), wrote ( Read more... )

Coming to you live from some hotel in suburban New York, where in a little less than two hours my brother and sister-in-law will go to a wedding and I will babysit my nephew while they are partying, hurrah! I stopped "on the way" and brought them Chik-Fil-A for lunch, and they were very pleased; and in return they are putting me up and buying me ( Read more... )
