Stabbing For Science, Part 2

12:45am

Well, we’re still waiting for the results of blood draw #1 to come back, but it was time for blood draw #2 to happen.

Rerun, as always, was a champ about it (and not nearly as comically dramatic, which was disappointing).

There’s supposed to be a third blood draw, but with school starting online this year, who knows when Rerun will ever spend time with other kids again and need to be tested.

The Cool Backyard

12:41am

I’ve always wanted to be the house with the cool backyard.

After talking the Webmaster into investing in the projector and building a frame for the screen, I think we have finally managed that.  Ane had her friends over tonight to watch a movie, which meant that they were all outside, hanging out together, eating popcorn, and able to forget about the pandemic and just be teenagers.

Anything to give them just a little taste of normalcy right now.

Romance Isn’t Dead, It Got A Shot

12:37am

It’s nice when the Webmaster and I are able to get away, leave the boys with my parents, and… go to Costco to get our flu shots done.

That wasn’t really the reason they watched the boys for us on Saturday.  We actually went to a few different places and test drove some minivans.  So far, we haven’t found what we want – and frankly, the flu shot was easier to deal with than car salespeople.

This Can’t Be Comfortable

Exhibit #361 of “Thumper Can Sleep Anywhere”

My back just hurts looking at him.

Also, reminder #1274 that our couch is in sorry shape and really needs to be replaced with something that isn’t splitting at the seams.
