Normally after my family leaves, there are a few days where everything seems a lot quieter. Less hustle and bustle in the house, less to do, etc. Well, with a three year old, we don’t get that luxury; she starts at 6:30am whether or not family is visiting, and she would quite like the Ms. Rachel episode with the baby dolls in, thank you very much (at this point, I retire to make tea, as I need something to cut against Ms. Rachel’s voice first thing; she’s a lovely person. But still…).
We have a brief interregnum of a week before the house is full again, this time with some of Tammy‘s high school friends, which means I have to clean the house to a slightly higher standard than when family comes (this mostly means: ‘probably do something with the IKEA circus tent and clear off all the DVDs waiting for encoding in the back bedroom). Otherwise, not a huge amount going on at the moment. We are doing Memorial Weekend DIY things, I have downloaded all of A Very Peculiar Practice for my pre-2000 TV viewing requirements, and this week at work is the end of an era as one of my close coworkers will be leaving this Friday which I am quite sad about. But he did get me this watch!1
