Yikes, Theo! Broken toes are so painful and AFAICT just something you have to wait til they heal, nothing you can fix. IDK about driving, maybe a serious boot would be okay.

Flying squirrel? Yeah, you win.

Good luck keeping the blow-out fabulousness through the weather, meara! Fortunately, your innate meara fabulousness is weather-proof.

That sounds great, Burrell.

I am trying not to be overwhelmed by all the stuff I should be doing today. There is a lot and I'm probably going to have to prioritize and accept that some of it will have to wait. Oh well. But first, breakfast.

Ouch, Theo! They don't even set your big toe? Healing ~ma!

They didn't even buddy-tape it! And they gave me a slipper-thingie with Velcro straps. Tomorrow the plan is to talk to a podiatrist and figure out if there's anything more I can/should do.

Good plan.

I'm looking for a new belt for my dad, but I'm not sure how. He's in need of a new tooled belt that accepts various belt buckles, and I don't know the term for that. Any thoughts?

ETA: Snap Belt seems to be the key word. If I was a gal who tucker her shirts in, I'd totally want one. Dad got an actual Western buckle for Christmas, instead of the absolutely geeky Hubble telescope one he's been wearing. Like, how is there a market for that besides my dad? "Into western wear and astronomy? Here's the buckle for you!".

For the record, flying squirrels are really cute. Google Alabama flying squirrel and that's textbook.

I think I'm better with unpacking other people's stuff than I am packing of any variety. I like creating order and I don't like being packed.

I have patched 4 holes in Noah's pants (with the monster mouths he likes). I would like for him to stop wearing his pants out at the knees.

My mom bought Sara a pair of Gap jeans in September (very much on sale) and she's worn out one knee. For what Gap jeans cost, I thought they would last a little longer. I'm not sure if she's going to go for a patch, but if not, she's looking at Target jeans.

I'm patching Grace's pants with hearts or balloons. She is not as rough on her knees as Noah is.

The best pants for Noah are the lands end reinforced knees but I can never find the jeans in his size.
