June 2, 2017: Beginning Two Weeks Alone

Friday. This morning Dominica got the kids all packed up and the family headed on down to Houston without me.  They are going to be down there for two weeks without me.  So I am very sad, I am going to miss my family a lot, very soon.  But the kids are going to get two weeks of playing, non-stop, with their cousins.  So this is good for them.  And I have a lot of work that needs my attention, so it is not all bad that I am going to have a lot of quiet time to myself to be super productive.  But I still don’t like it.

I am now carless.  This is a new one.  Now that we are a one car family we almost never go places individually.  Two weeks, home alone without transportation.  This is going to be interesting.

Got some good rain today and our pillars out front filled with water and this is worrying me just a bit.

So today I watched over the house in the rain, did my normal work all day, and did little else.  The family made it safely to Houston.

June 1, 2017: Still Playing Overcooked

Thursday.  So hard to believe that we are already into June.

Today the girls and I played Overcooked together.  Dominica has not played with us since before we went to Europe in January.  But Liesl, Luciana, and I play it regularly and have gotten pretty good.  Even Luciana is a bit of an expert these days.

Dominica and I watched more of The Ranch tonight.

May 31, 2017: The Ranch

Wednesday.  And the end of May already.  We have been so busy, just heads down working on trying to get business going that we have been very insular and have had very little interaction with the outside world.  Things have been busy, but we have been home just focused on a lot of our projects.

Dominica made veggie burger salads today, for lunch.

Tonight Dominica made honey glazed salmon; and we have continued watching Netflix’s The Ranch.

May 30, 2017: We Won Quiz Night

Tuesday.  Worked at home today.

Tonight I got selected to go to Quiz Night again down the street.  Dominica and I normally try to take turns but she was out recently to go to the club, so I got Quiz Night.

Tonight we actually made a good showing and ended up winning!  I think that this is a first when I have been with the team.

Dominica and I have started watching Netflix’s show The Ranch which isn’t perfect, Sam Elliot’s character is super detracting from the rest of the show, but overall we are enjoying it.  It is very different, which is nice.  Very much a chance of pace for sitcoms.

May 29, 2017: Failed D&D Night

The girls wanted to go out for a walk around the neighbourhood today, presumably to go Poke Hunting.

Liesl and I played Overcooked again today.  We are slowly figuring out how to beat this game with only two players.

Tonight we attempted a D&D game.  We were all excited to get to play after nearly a year since our last attempt.  But only one person showed up to play tonight.  So we had to give up on that.  But Nick was over so we hung out all evening.
