Enough to Do Some Things
I'm still recovering from this cold.
On Saturday, made it out to Boston's Ingress First Saturday for the first time, which was pretty fun.
Was pretty down with a cold and related insomnia on Sunday, but had a good evening with Eris. She had a very interesting filibuster while we were getting to pre-bedtime stories. She spun this yarn about how she put together her room by herself: Picked out the furniture, brought up the books and toys, painted the dresser and the paintings, put up the photographs, hung a mirror on the door, tightened the screws on the door hinges, etc. She described this at length as if recounting real events, but interjected "just kidding!" every few sentences. It was a bit odd, definitely a new sort of story-telling for her. (I wonder if it was influenced by a Daniel Tiger episode in which Daniel was helping his dad build a play-house, which by coincidence she's rewatching right now.)
Today, Julie is off on a conference trip. But the morning went all right (I was able to get to sleep after Julie's 2:30AM shower and the kid's 5AM wake-up was fortunately brief), and the afternoon had only one 40-minute meltdown. So it's going all right! (Three is a hard age.)
