Despite being up so late last night, Kelly and I were up before 8 AM. Everyone else was up shortly thereafter. I decided to cook breakfast for everyone. stubiebrother helped. I made two batches of pancakes, and Jason made a whole bunch of scrambled eggs (with an without cheese). People said it turned out pretty…
Headed home from work at 4 PM. Kelly had her first flex-day today and so she was home. Around 6:30 or so, her parents arrived. We had moved Kelly’s car onto the street so that they could park in our driveway. Shortly thereafter, I heard from he11o_sunshine: their train was delayed a few hours and…
Got home just after 4 PM yesterday and vacuumed the entire house, took out the trash and recycling, and tidied up a bit. Carmen arrived just as I was about to pick up Kelly. I dashed up to Pentagon City while Carmen waited patiently at the new place. When we got back home, we gave…
We had a softball game last night. It was a little odd. The other team did not have enough girls (only 1) and so it was an automatic win for us. Nevertheless, we still played a game and they kicked our butts, something like 23-5 (of course, they had all guys in their lineup). I…
…from Strange Horizons on “The Golden Watch”. At 38 days, it has now been there 10 days longer than any previous item I have submitted to them. I am still taking that as a good sign.
I headed over the to DMV this afternoon in order to complete the last two steps of my conversion to Virginia resident: title and register my car. Last time it took about 30 minutes. This time it was about the same. I had everything I needed, my old title from Maryland, my emissions papers, my…
After work yesterday, I stopped home to pick up Kelly and then returned to the office in order to hear one of my coworkers (and softball teammates) play violin in my office. She will be playing at our wedding ceremony and she wanted to let us listen to a variety of music that can be…
I went home at lunchtime today, mostly to check on Kelly and see how she was feeling. I left here at noon, was home around 12:08, and we sat on the couch in the family room, napping, until around 12:50 when I headed back to the office. Yet another benefit of my shortened commute!
Kelly met me after work and we went home together. She’s still sick (she stayed home today) and when get got back to the house, she went right to bed and slept for a few hours. I got my bike back together and then took it out for a test-drive. I rode up Army-Navy drive…
Eventually, I’ll get there. I’m ready to start writing again. I’m bogged down in The Count of Monte Cristo but haven’t quite given up yet. I am not yet back at the gym regularly. My once good eating habits have mostly dwindled away. I haven’t ridden my bike into work yet. I could say that…
At lunch today, Casey showed me how to fix my bike. We headed over to my house (convenient that it’s just 5 minutes away), where I gave him a quick tour of the new place. Then we set about fixing the flat rear tire on my bike. First, Casey showed me how the “quick release”…
Up before 8 AM, had breakfast and got ready for the day. We dressed up nice because we had our engagement photo re-shoot this morning up in Columbia, Maryland. We left here around 8:30 and arrived at the lake shortly before our photographer. It was really pretty there at that time of the morning. The…
