Teacher Training Day Vacation
Good morning! I'm taking the day off since the kids have a teacher training day. I re-discovered this Flickr group and could waste some serious time there.
Leaving the Merrimack YMCA. I just survived Michelle's Step class. She is brutal! The rest of the kids got their exercise too on the machines, track, and basketball courts.
Decided on the Grand Buffet (a Chinese restaurant in Nashua) for lunch with the family because they have something for everyone.
Took the boys shopping for new shoes as their old sneakers are wearing out. Now at our last major stop of the day: Nashua Regional Cancer Center for Michelle's radiation treatment.
Stopped by A&E Roastery for an iced coffee drink for Michelle and a smoothie for me. That was our last errand of the day. Now to relax and enjoy last weekend's new episode of Doctor Who.
Just finished watching Doctor Who: Closing Time via Amazon video on demand. Next weekend wraps up season 6. I loved how this episode emphasized the powerful bound between a father and his children (for the second time this season!)
Took a call with San Diego at 5 o'clock. After a simple dinner, I worked on the wood stove. The main one has suffered from cat fur getting caught in the distribution blower. I put some screens over the intake to see if it can catch the furballs and dust bunnies before they go in.
Helped Timothy with his laptop tinkering. With some of the "bigger" window managers his WiFi works fine, but with some of the "lightweight" ones, he has no WiFi. And for him, the journey of making it work is what it's all about. Wonder where he gets that from...
Got all three boys tucked in bed with their prayers while Michelle and the girls enjoy tonight's "Dancing with the Stahs". It's been a nice three day weekend. My next break will probably be in a few weeks when family comes to visit. But for now, a little reflective reading and time for some sleep. Tomorrow it's back to work. Good night all!
