House

Finally finished the last of the flooring on the second floor. It was just a few rows in the hallway leading into a smallish closet. But it involved working around multiple door trims and truly not-square walls. What my wife expected to take me a an hour or so took me the the entire day. And left me exhausted. My poor jigsaw got quite the workout too.

Family

Took off Thursday and Friday and went to VT to visit the in-laws. My wife, me and one of my SIL's slipped out to go kayaking. Less than 200 yards into the water the skies opened up and dumped buckets and lightning, sending us in a mad dash back to the car. Otherwise it was good to chat with my MIL. There was a lot of "huh?" "say again" as we spoke through our masks, but better than leaving there not knowing if she would survive for us to come back another day.

Grandson came and spent Sunday - Tuesday with us. Gotta get our fix in before they more move next month. Took him to the beach yesterday and he swam for hours. The only way I could get him out of the water was to take him kayaking. That resulted in a fight over the paddles. He wanted to through it into the water, I wanted to keep us moving close to shore. I felt bad for the other families there having to listen to him scream.

Work

I can't believe I took off four days. Felt good, but have 400+ emails to wade through now. Why can't people just do their jobs without being needy? Oh well, it keeps me employed.

Looking forward to next weekend already and it is only my first day back for a three-day work week.

Overall, life is good. Progress, family, fun.
