Sheep Guarding Llama

Sunday.  I got up on the early side today, and didn’t even turn on my desktop.  I made a pot of coffee and fired up Skyrim: Dragonborn in the living room and got right down to some gaming while everyone else was asleep.

The girls came out and joined me in the living room and played Skyrim for the entire day.  We made it a daddy – daughter video gaming Sunday.  The entire day, just the three of us camped out on the sofa in the living room playing Skyrim.  Once they were awake it was them playing all day.  I only got to play a little, early in the morning before they woke up.

Vegetarian Hot Pockets for dinner tonight.

Saturday.  Did a whole bunch of SAMIT videos today.  I need to get a backlog of them done and prepped so that I am ready for all of the upcoming holidays, travel to Qatar, and so forth.  It takes a lot of work to keep a YouTube channel like SAMIT busy.

Dominica dropped a knife while working in the kitchen this morning and cut her hand really badly.  We are worried that she will need to go get stitches.  We had to get her all bandaged up before I even got to my first coffee of the day.

Dominica has been experimenting with making her own vegetarian lunch meat, it has been really good.  Today for lunch it was lunch meat sandwiches.

Liesl played Skyrim today so I hung out with her for a bit while she was playing that.

For dinner we ordered Chinese delivery from China One.  With her thumb cut up so badly, Dominica was not up for cooking anything today.

Dominica and I watched The Man with One Red Shoe which is from the early 1980s and I have never seen before.  It was actually completely awful.  Don’t ever watch that movie.

Friday.  Lots of SAMIT videos being uploaded this morning.  My channel is very healthy and underway at this point.  I’m excited about how it is turning out.  Getting a lot of good responses about it.

The weather is nice here in Dallas today, but we hear that there is a lot of snow coming down back home in New York.

Updated my desktop to Deepin 15.5 today.  I’m really enjoying using Deepin, it’s been quite good.

Thursday. Wrote and did SAMIT videos all morning.  Then, before lunch, Luciana came and did her reading school lesson with me.

After work, the girls and I had a dance party in the living room.

DuoLingo Streak: 67 Days / 58% Fluency

Wednesday.  It is a cold and rainy day in Dallas.  It was raining since the middle of the night and rained nearly through the entire day.  It was very chilly so the only window that we kept open was the one in the master bedroom which, no matter what we do, never actually gets cold.  Between the television in there and Dominica being in that room, it stays warm no matter what.

Today was a huge day for Liesl, today we officially started her programming classes at home together.  We are starting off with her doing Python programming via the online classes available from Code Academy.

We took some time to sit together on the “couch” in the living room and go through the entire first lesson this afternoon.  It went really well with her picking up the material super quickly and she absolutely loved it.  She is so into it and excited.

We got through the entire first lesson and she wanted more.  We are going to be making programming a regular part of her homeschooling work starting today.  So hopefully there will be a lot of this in the future.  Code Academy does Python, JavaScript, Ruby, HTML, CSS, and some other things, so hopefully a lot of material to keep her busy for a long time to come.

I did several new SAMIT videos today.  I have eight videos uploaded to the channel at this point and about fourteen in the processing queue.  So getting very, very close to the one hundred video mark, which I hope to hit later this week.  Although six videos yet by the end of the week is rather a lot, so that is a lofty goal.

MangoLassi was busy today, but nothing like our record day yesterday.  That was bordering on the insane.

This evening the girls and I watched Men in Black which has shown up recently on Netflix.  I have not seen the movie in a really long time, the girls have never seen it at all.  Liesl thought that it was decent, but was not a huge fan.  Luciana really loved it and can’t wait to see the sequels.

Dominica was off to bed super early tonight, hours before normal.
