So, a busy weekend. Went to the OC fair first to drop off V's entries. Five items, only one of which was juried. I drop off mine on Wednesday. I only have the one. After that, we headed to Mile Square Park for an SCA event. Enjoyed ourselves. I spent a big chunk of the day watching the kid run around the playground. We were all tired, but the feast had already been payed for, so we attended. I'm kinda glad we did. Fantastic food, even if the wife was attacked by a squirrel again. Packed up at dark and got out of there in record time, mostly due to planning.
Squirrel attack: We're sitting right under a tree. Squirrel jumps onto a dead branch, branch breaks, falling a few feet behind V's head. Squirrel decides to abandon the falling branch in mid-fall. Lands on V's shoulder, leaps from there into Ae's lap and under his arm. Turns in mid-air to return to the tree it just fell out of. From my vantage point, I thought someone had thrown a football into the crowd and hit my wife. I was about to get annoyed when I realized what it actually was. Darn squirrel continued to throw things at V throughout the meal, apparently blaming her for the broken branch.
Sunday: got up reasonably early, all things considered. Got the kid up, got a few chores done. Daughter dropped by at about 9+/-. I went to the store for some things, got a few shores done, etc. Daughter headed to work at 11+, I took the kid out back to tire him out. It didn't take long, considering how much he'd run around on Saturday and that without a nap. So at about 1, I brought him back in and put him to bed. Whilst he napped, I pulled weeds. Suddenly, I don't need to cut the grass out back any more. Huh, who'd've thought it. Anyway, he woke up. I came in. His mom came home at about 4:15. I got some work done in the garage. Not much, but some. (Hands were tired from pulling weeds already.) Got some laundry started too.
Daughter left, we watched TV with the kid for an hour or so, then I took him up to bed. Watched another hour of TV with the wife. Moved the laundry around a bit. Headed to bed. Died.
Woke up this morning and got more laundry done while being late to work. Got a list of things to do this evening. Hope I manage to get some of them done.
