The alcove!
Jacob's pirate room theme is finally coming together.
Monday morning came fast and furious despite a ridiculously early bedtime the night before. I didn’t open my eyes until 5:45am and by the time I pee’d, brushed my teeth and found my way down stairs it was 5:50am. I made Mindy aware of my lateness before heading down so that she could decide whether to get up now, or sleep even later.
I exercised to the sweet sound of digital cable radio channel 932 but uncharacteristically, tuned the television to ESPN so I could catch some NFL highlights at the same time. I wanted ot see the Viking highlights.
I felt weak this morning as I whipped out my routine. I couldn’t possibly be coming down with something again, could I? Crap. I went years without even a minor cold, and now all of the sudden I find myself battling cold symptoms routinely. It’s likely rooted in being around small children every single day. Or, perhaps it’s actually Mindy, who is with 25 germ carrying rug rats each and every weekday. Either way, my immune system is being put to the test.
I grabbed my fleece jacket to wear on my walk with Ykraps thinking it was going to be chilly. There was a slight chill in the air but nothing like I had imagined. That’s coming later this week. I was actually quite warm – a little too warm for the jacket I had on. We’re expecting rain by mid day today and the sky already looked mostly cloudy through the darkness. And just in case you were wondering, whatever was ailing Ykraps seems to have totally cleared. His stool is back to being firm, brown, and about ¾” in diameter. No more table scraps for him.
Upon my return, I whipped up two cups of coffee and took one to Mindy, who I could hear was already up and stirring in the bathroom. It was already 6:25am. I was about 20 minutes behind schedule. Regardless, I took my time moving forward so not to rattle my world. Food prep went slow this morning for whatever reason. I didn’t finish making breakfast and lunch until 7:00am.
Both kids had school today so it took Mindy a little extra time making sure they had what they needed to have happy and successful day. They left on time, somewhere close to 7:15am. After I showered and made my way downstairs I noticed the sun shining brightly albeit briefly over the eastwardly rooftops. Very pleasant! I didn’t leave for work until about 7:45am. Today’s trip to work would be a bit unusual in that I was taking the boat back to storage first. I took Trabue to Old Dublin Rd to Scioto Darby Rd and finally to Lee’s RV’s. I placed the boat in its private bay in the front building. That’s real nice! That took only about ten minutes. I took the back way into Hilliard further west on Scioto-Darby Rd to Leap Rd. On Leap I stopped at the UDF at Cemetery Rd for gas. It was only $2.05 per gallon. The lowest I’ve seen it anywhere. By the time I filled my tank and was on the road to work it was already 8:17am. I arrived to work minutes later.
I had a lot planned for the work day and got busy fast. I had a couple of meetings and plenty of project work to complete. I didn’t leave for my run until 1pm even. As I left the office the sky looked to be brightening out west. For that I was happy. By the time I dressed and hit the back doors a light rain had fallen slightly wetting the walks. No rain falling when I left, however. Probably at about the 3.5 mile mark, it began to rain ever so lightly, but I wasn’t to be detoured.
After a quick shower I returned to my office for some lunch and more fun at my desk. I worked hard for the remaining three hours or so and by its end, I had logged a very productive day. I finished up what I was doing and left for the day at about 5:15pm.
Along my way home I stopped in Home Depot to pick-up some stainless steel screws for the boat and a few ceiling hooks to hang some decorative objects from Jacob’s bedroom ceiling. I found the perfect hardware for each application, and headed home a happy camper.
Once at home I quickly unloaded my gear and got cracking on my chores. Mindy took much of the stress away by taking my lunch dishes. I took Ykraps for his walk while Mindy cleaned and began prepping for dinner. We agreed on Tilapia and broccoli with cheese. While dinner cooked, I caught up on my blog, pictures included. The fish was good. We baked and then broiled the fish. This helped keep it moist on the inside yet slightly crunchy on the outside.
After dinner I headed upstairs to hang the ceiling hooks in Jacob’s bedroom. We successfully placed two hooks and subsequently hung two lamps in opposite corners. The kids returned home during my labor. Mindy prompted the kids to the bathroom for a bath while I tinkered in Jacob’s room. Lastly, I placed the two 3X5 pirate flags we bought at the fair over the two roll up blinds already hanging. It looks cool! As I finished it was time for the kids to go to bed. After the y went to sleep, Mindy and I went down stairs. She played on the computer and I tuned into Monday Night Football. I popped some popcorn to go along with the football. For whatever reason, it tasted so good! I popped tow bags.
Mindy went to bed by 9:30pm after I rubbed a knot out of her neck. I must have fallen asleep before she went up. I don’t recall her leaving my side. I woke up around 10:30pm and headed to bed myself.
