Wednesday morning, woke up with barely enough time. Got my latte and got on SL to park while getting Casey up, dressed, and fed. Dropped him off at school, with the bell ringing as we were walking from the car to the building.
When I was backing the car out of the parking lot, a red SUV cut me off. At that point, I had the right-of-way. I was still grouchy from not having my daily dose of coffee, so I was glaring out my window as I drove past the vehicle a minute later. It was Leanne, which is Daniel’s ex and also my co-leader in Cub Scouts.
Came back home and got on Conan. I wasn’t planning to be on long, but let Colin know how to find the new RP server and was just helping him catch up on Journey steps. Took a break from it long enough to go to Aldi for some groceries, then came back home and got back to it. Next thing I know, it’s time to go pick Casey up from school.
Had Casey sit on the toilet after school, as I wrapped up the call with Colin. Dave got home minutes after we said goodbye for the night.
For dinner I’d picked up some salad kits, and Dave added a bit of spinach and vegetable bacon. They were some pretty darn good salads! I need to consider adding cabbage to salads more often in the future.
After dinner I took care of my free book and paid emails, got on Aura Kingdom to check things, then got Casey tucked into bed, then played on Minecraft with Autumn until I was ready for bed.
Thursday, got up and got some coffee that Dave had made in the Bunn and got parked on SL while getting Casey up, dressed, and fed. Dropped him off at school, making it there just in time for the bell again. Came back home and got on Conan with Colin. I wasn’t necessarily up for playing for long, but again the day slipped by and I didn’t get off Conan until about an hour before it was time to pick Casey up from school.
Colin got off to go eat dinner a little after noon, which is a little after 6pm for him. I wrapped things up on Conan and then took care of my free book & paid emails.
As I was getting ready to leave to pick Casey up from school, I took the trash downstairs and turned on the dryer down there, then headed through the garage to my car. When I got back with Casey, instead of heading upstairs to the main part of the house, I headed to the dryer to get Casey’s clothes out and put a blanket and cat bed in the dryer for Dave. My knee’s been particularly bad the past couple days, so that was in an effort to be kinder to it.
Had Casey get on the toilet, and talked with Colin again for a while. I was finishing up cooking dinner, which was a ham in the crock pot with some sweet potatoes, and then ate dinner while just chatting. Colin pointed out that I was being more talkative, and he liked it lol. Usually I can’t get a word in edge-wise even if I had things to say.
When Dave got home, we rushed goodbyes. Then Dave mentioned something to Casey about having tomorrow off. Great! Because 2 weeks with you at home wasn’t enough!!
We had a Cub Scouts Den meeting tonight. I wasn’t expecting the other leader, Daniel’s ex Leanne, to be there, but she actually showed up! She was behaving as more of a follower than a leader, taking notes and asking questions about upcoming events. The kids completed an activity about building people up versus knocking them down. Casey jumped the gun and completed some other activities as well. So, it’s been decided that we’ll let the kids complete the activity in the book at their leisure, but plan a discussion for each achievement at the meetings. This will allow things to be more streamlined anyway, since when the kids are working on their books they tend to get loud and raucousy with each other. If they haven’t completed the activity in their book, they can at the meeting, but we’ll have to work that out on a case-by-case basis.
Got Casey tucked into bed, then got an email sent out to all the parents in our Den letting them know what was completed at tonight’s meeting and also that we’ll be gathering tomorrow evening to construct the cars for the Pinewood Derby.
Going to log onto Aura Kingdom to check things, not sure what I’ll do after that, if me and Autumn will play on there or on Minecraft.
