Well, 100 degrees yesterday, 100 or more today, which is pretty impressive for a state where 30 below is a sort of badge of honor. I mean, it sucks, but it’s also neat to live in a place that can range 130 degrees in a year.

My weekend wasn’t bad. Actually, it was pretty good, even though a lot of it was cleaning up toddler drift. Toddler drift is where you wake up one day and realize every major room in the house is filled with stuff that is not yours. So finally, slowly, we reclaimed bits of the house. Hasn’t looked this good in 2 years, but we still have a ways to go. Of course, we still have a toddler, so a lot of it will be pointless.
But DVD’s are back in on the shelf, boxes used to block pre toddler have been replaced by hook latches and hopefully, we can slowly return to where we were a few years ago. Hey, we aren’t the neatest people to begin with, so Toddler Drift is a major problem. But I think we got it now.
Anyway, I’m solo at work, so I gotta get to it.
