sarahmichelefLet's see... Went to Yom Kippur services (kids' services) yesterday and generally lazed around the house otherwise (TRex rejected watching The Little Mermaid in favor of Cinderella for the 700th time). M did the full 24 hour (more like 25 or 26 - about 3 too long for his body - by the time we had dinner, actually) fast, I did about 9 hours. rapierlady and Bill came over to break the fast and we all had a pleasant meal.
Friday afternoon and today we all spent a bit of time gardening - I picked up a big box of mixed bulbs during the week and we put in some drumsticks, tulips, and grape hyacinth in the front yard on Friday, and an arrangement of drumsticks and daffodils in the backyard this afternoon. TRex is a very good bulb-planting assistant - she loves to drop in the bulbs and then cover them over. She keeps asking us, "Is it spring yet?" and we explain that no, it's fall now and then comes winter and after that is spring and that's when these flowers will come up. The area where we were planting today was ... challenging. It had been under weed-control paper and hadn't had anything planted in it for I don't know how long. The dirt was very, very packed and quite rocky. We mixed in some bagged garden mix to help it out.
I was down another pound this week, so yay. And I'm madly analyzing early data for the AoIR paper - the goal is for Mark and I to each have a rough draft of our sections by Tuesday. So I'm analyzing and then will be writing. And I think the gym isn't going to happen tomorrow in the interest of getting that done, since I won't have much time on Tuesday. TRex turns THREE on Tuesday. Good lord, how did THAT happen?
Back to the data.
