Buoys

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009


Here’s a bunch of buoys lined up. In Canada. With a mural. With a buoy on it. In Canada. Part of the cruise, of course.

Pretty nice day. LRN12 went to the doctor’s office and discovered she has an ear infection. Pink medicine has begun and she’s already feeling a lot better. Although she really didn’t want to take it at first. Had to be bribed with ice cream. Which worked like a charm.

Otherwise a beautiful day. Got some work done. Left some more for tomorrow. As usual. I gave monetary awards to two people today, which always makes me feel a little like Santa Claus, even if it’s not my money. Ho ho ho.

LRN5 is here for a couple of nights (I think) to help LRN12 get better. How nice of her work to give her the time off for that. We’re glad she’s here.

So we’ll end with something I thought I’d never see – yet another instance of corkscrew toilet violence. Can’t we all just get along?

See you tomorrow.

Seaspan Pacer

Here’s LRN4 looking out the window at the Seaspan Pacer. Picture taken in Canada and (contrary to my earlier promise) a part of our cruise. Sue me. Part of my famous Machinery series.

Yet another beautiful, normal day. Commuted, worked, commuted, ate, blogged. LRN12 took a brief nap this evening and woke up extremely grouchy, as is her wont. She needs to grow out of that habit, and fast. She’s so pleasant when she’s not waking up. Or going to sleep. Or waking up while going to sleep. Otherwise, she’s great.

LRN3’s thinking of buying a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. Its only unusual aspect is that it’s a right-hand-drive vehicle. It would be great for delivering mail, which is apparently what its original owner bought it to do. Maybe he can get a mail job too. Especially if he already has the car for it.

We’ll close with yet another exclusive Morrowlife employment opportunity: Polish Toilet Checker. They’re lining up to get that job.

See you tomorrow.

Carvers

Here are LRN2, LRN4, and LRN12 getting ready for Halloween. Actually on Halloween, as it turns out. The results speak for themselves.

No post on Friday. Got busy at the ward Halloween party and never got to it. Thanks to Anon for noticing.

Got a few things done over the weekend. The pool’s basket filters were so full of leaves the water was barely circulating. Need to keep a closer eye on that this time of year. Can’t remember what else was accomplished, besides Halloween stuff and relaxation. But I’m sure there must have been something. Really.

And a new week has started. More of the usual. Although it was darker than usual at coming-home time, what with Daylight Saving Time being over and all.

LRN2’s working on a handwritten paper. That’s not his favorite thing to do, so he’s decided to spice it up a bit by hand-illustrating it. Which is one of his favorite things to do. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the good work, LRN2!

We’ll end with today’s toilet violence news: leave the corkscrew at home.

See you tomorrow.
