Cute Trouble
More procrastination on writing. Let's see...
Last weekend, we went to visit DJ and Mishy at their new house in Framingham for a Hanukkah party. Their new place seems really nice, and it was great to see everyone.
The week was productive, but very busy.
The weather has gotten cold and there's a ton of construction all around, so it's somewhat unsurprising that we've seen an incursion of our furry friends. Which we were informed of by a mouse parading across our kitchen counter immediately after Wednesday dinner, helping itself to crumbs. Got a few capture traps, and it fell for one of them almost immediately. But then I mistakenly thought the trap had fallen closed empty and opened it carelessly, at which point of course the mouse which was inside did a Wile E. Coyote run out of the trap, fell four feet straight down, and turned into a grey blur darting back under the stove. So back to worse than square one, since it wasn't making the same mistake twice. Pest control came out Friday, did some cleaning and laid some more traps. We did some more cleaning. But yesterday Julie was baking a cake and guess who comes poking their furry nose out from under the toaster. We need to improve the weatherproofing around the garage door and do some more mitigation under the kitchen counter (but that will require taking up the baseboard).
We decided to go out yesterday evening and wound up having some drinks and chips at El Potro, while Eris had a late supper of beans and rice. A mariachi band was playing. It was a lot of fun! I'm a night-owl myself, so I think I'd enjoy spending more time out late with night-owl kid if I wasn't so ground down. If only we could sleep in more! Julie seems even more tired than me in the evenings, and she was way more resistant to sleep-dep than I am. Been pushing herself harder, probably.
Eris wants to read a lot more books. I don't think she's really trying to read the writing quite yet, but she's definitely reciting longer stories and singing more complex songs.
Today, we're going to Liz's house for a holiday party.
Eristic improvements: Demanding infinite bedtime stories, signing along to "Baby Beluga".
