Started out the day not feeling that great, but went to work anyway. Felt progressively better as the day went on. Got home and took advantage of the fact that Liz and Laura weren’t home so I could do some tidying up and some little fixit-type jobs (latches on bathroom drawers, cleaning filter in sink faucet).

I’m thinking my lawn is going to need some mowing soon, but I’m not sure how soon to try the front 1/2 since we recently got it seeded and it’s only very recently gotten decent rain. Hopefully yet this week we’ll get some idea of how much materials are going to run for putting a bedroom in the basement. Original plan had been for two bedrooms down there but we want a nice sized bathroom which means one of the two bedrooms would be pretty small. Since our need for a guest room is pretty occasional, we are electing to go with a single master bedroom downstairs.

Well, I need to get to bed if I’m going to keep feeling better. A closing thought … a link to a list of “geek” debates.

Well, I haven’t posted in a while. Surprise surprise! Of course it seems LJ posting in general seems to have slowed down. Anyway, I thought I’d try to start a trend. :D

On the home front … Laura is growing leaps and bounds … 33 pounds! She loves being outdoors and pushing around or riding in strollers. We need to get her a sandbox and hopefully she’ll get some play dates with the girl next door too. Liz is growing too … our little boy is due to make his debut in August. I think this pregnancy is rougher than the last one was, but maybe nature blocks my memory of the first one to make sure we have another. This cold/flu season has been rather rough on us. Laura has had 1/2 a dozen or so ear infections and is currently battling a cold. I think I’m fighting off the same bug and an early bedtime sounds real appealing tonight.

Work is going well. My boss is awesome. I feel like I’m in a bit of a lull at the moment since there are a few little items left from previous projects which need to be wrapped up (but require other staff members’ assistance) but we haven’t started anything major new yet. We’re in the planning stages of “phase 2” of the website remake but that hasn’t turned into a lot of daily work yet.

Well, that’s all for tonight. My mind is mud, so my pillow is looking/sounding real appealing right now.
