We spent most of the day painting benches at Franny's school, and then I spent the rest of the afternoon nudging Isaac through his homework. Frances, miraculously, finished her on her own. Ugh. Why do weekends feel like so much work?
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

When customer came in saying "I've got to finish this tonight, and my program doesn't work!", I used to care. I don't anymore.

Suzi, we have (about half of) our DVD collection in 16 of these boxes. They're very compact and keep things alphabetized.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I finally bought a new fitbit yesterday, and have already fallen down the tracking rabbit hole, so I know I walked 3.33 miles so far today. My PF is already laughing at me, as is my knee, but I still feel good.

I haven't been on a walk for a few weeks, but my god, I have been exercising! And I've made it back to yoga classes, and plan on turning part of the finished basement into a little exercise area, with my weights and my yoga mat, Dan's weights -- I can take my laptop down there and I have access to videos for strength and yoga.
And I am PSYCHED about starting up walk/jogging again. Our new hood is a GORGEOUS tree-lined street and it's mostly flat, but with some gentle hills.
OMG, guys, I love our new house and our new hood SO SO MUCH!!

Yay, Strix! So glad you are in the new place and happy. Pretty great feeling.
Jessica, I had bumped into those and was hesitant, so good to have a recommendation. We had filled 4 of the skinny Ikea DVD shelves which hold about 100 each. A fair chunk are boxed sets. But putting the rest in those boxes might work.
I started putting up some pictures/art before realizing that most of my picture hooks are still at the apartment.

So in trying to bleach out the henna, I actually did bleach my skin, which is creepy! But probably not that noticeable to anyone outside my body.
Ouch! Also, that's a very last-minute trip, goodness!
My fitbit says 4.08 miles, but most of that is because I walked around Greenlake with my friend earlier today (which is about 2.8 miles).

I have been such a slug the last few days compared to all of you.
I actually laid out clothes for this morning last night, one of those things I always think I ought to do but rarely manage, but now I think the day is chillier than the clothes I picked will be appropriate for.

I am going to the dentist this morning. I'm not sure why I thought Monday morning dentistry was good idea.
