My day today:

I was the first one awake, so I got the kids breakfast and hung out with them until I got off my butt to take the dogs out. I put on an episode of rescue Bots for them before I left, and it was just finishing up when I got back. Then Nugsy (the littler one) wanted to watch a youtube show, so I set him up with that, forgetting that he isn't supposed to watch stuff unsupervised any more because he is a champ at finding things that are age inappropriate. I went downstairs to play the Rainbow Pony boardgame with HD. By then other adults were up who coudl keep a eye on Nugsy, so HD and I played some more board games (Candyland - boring! and Robot Turtles a.k.a. stealth-teach kids how to code). Meanwhile, wererogue was making scones, which were delicious. They were pretty much ready as soon as we were finished our last game ;p

After that, I bummed around om the internet for a bit, trying to get motivation to do just about anything other than read facebook and chat. I finally got myself to do some knitting, but was then dragged away to go to a "yard sale" a.k.a. hoarder sale at a nearby church with Longpig and Nugsy while wererogue took HD out to buy some skates. There is a church just around the block that pretty much has a perpetual yard sale - really it is filled with stuff, mostly furniture, that is sold for super duper cheap. I got a $5 crock pot for work (finishing 3D prints involves a hot wax treatment, but we'd never yet bothered.... but I think we should, so i am facilitating). Longpig got this church pew kneeling bench thing after they confirmed that it was, in fact something for sale.

After our first foray but before going back for the bench, we went to the fish and chips place for lunch and ordered entirely too much food, all of which was delicious. Every time I go there I think about ordering something other than the fish, but I never do, because it is sooo goooood. At least this time I was wise enough to know that I wouldn't be able to also handle a milkshake, so I didn't bother. Nugsy had one though, and I had a few sips of his.

When we got back, I did do some knitting... several hours of knitting, actually (I did three rows! 1 row is about 360 stitches so I feel like that is fairly impressive...), + chatting. Then it was dinner (grocery store pizza that wererogue bought because he was late getting home), then some Dominion online (does anyone else out there play? Wanna try a game sometime? My sister has a few of the expansions), and some chatting, and I worked on my spinning (I got a drop spindle for Christmas :3), and that brings me to now, when I should go to bed.

Tomorrow is game. I should do laundry. I should change my sheets. I should work on a syllabus for a job application. I should do a more serious thinking write up for here that I have been meaning to do but keep forgetting about, if I can remember what it is meant to do about. I look forward to seeing what all I get done :)
