Sheep Guarding Llama

Thursday.  Lunch today was going to the Diner of Dallas, down on Beltline, which we have not been back to in years.  It was exactly like it used to be.  I got fish tacos for lunch, which were pretty good.  It was late by the time that we went, the kids were not awake until noon.

The Steam Halloween Sale started today and I got a dozen new games.

This evening Dominica stayed home with the girls while I went out to ladies night at Malarkey’s with Rachel.  Chris and Melanie ended up coming with us.  It was a short evening, we just went for an hour or two and then came back home since the bar is right up the street.

Everyone came back and hung out at the house for a while after being at the bar.  I took Melanie home around midnight.

Wednesday.  Today for lunch Dominica made homemade curry.

This afternoon Rachel switched bedrooms with us.  Until now she has been sleeping in the master suite and Dominica and I have been squeezed into Liesl’s old room (the small one towards the front of the house near the bar) along with tons of Rachel’s storage stuff.  But today we took the time to move our stuff between the rooms so that Dominica and I could have our old master back.

It’s neat being back in our old room, although it was interesting sleeping in Liesl’s old room, too.  Both girls had chosen Luciana’s old room as the place where they were going to be, anyway.

We ate dinner and watching That 70s Show before getting back to moving furniture and boxes.

Tonight Luciana randomly asked me if we could visit Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  You know that you are hard core travelers when your five year old randomly comes up with ideas like this.

I updated my business laptop from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 this evening.

Tuesday.  I must have been really tired as I have like no records for this day whatsoever.  I was probably too tired them struggled to get things done all day.  So leaving this year.  🙂

It is Monday and, of course, I am still months behind on SGL updates.  I am writing many of these updates in January with loose notes from MangoLassi and Facebook to piece together my time.  I am working really hard to be fully caught up by January 15th, 2017.  That is my goal.  The updates from this fall are necessarily really lean.  But rest assured, not much is going on so you are not missing all that much.

I slept in very late this morning.  It was five when I got to bed this morning and then I slept in until around eleven.

I was not very busy today as I was so tired and slept through so much of the day.

Sunday.  I played some more Skyrim this morning.  Then this afternoon Dominica and Rachel were supposed to go out clothes shopping.  This turned into an entire afternoon of Dominica waiting on Rachel until the shops almost closed.  So a huge portion of the day was just sitting waiting to go at any moment.  I managed to game a lot today and the girls hung out doing their own thing playing games or whatever.  They tend to go into their bedroom and play imaginative games with their toys for a lot of the day.

We love how well the two of them play together still.    With the absence of peer pressure from being in a public school they are able to do better play and focus on cognitive growth more than kids often get to do.

Dominica and Rachel ended up going out tonight and I had to be the driver dealing with them till five in the morning.  So going to be super tired tomorrow.
