Oct. 6th, 2017 01:41 pmFinally catching up.
We had a houseguest for two weeks and while he was absolutely no trouble at all, it's still nice to have our privacy back. At some point we want to get a two bedroom place and that will make it better for having company because we'll have something in the other bedroom, a single bed or a day bed. It will also be a place to put G.'s "studio", his instruments, his recording laptop etc. He's been complaining about his main laptop constantly so he's going to save up for a new one. The one he has was reconditioned when he bought it and now finds it really slow and clunky and, he says, doing strange things. He's had 2 or 3 commissions in recent weeks and has a larger one to do this month and that will chunk up the savings nicely.
We had a fun road trip on our two week vacation, too. We went to Cape Breton Island on the east end of our province of Nova Scotia. It's even made it into the travel magazines as a very special place, with spectacular scenery and particularly lovely people. All true! For a travelogue, if you're interested, Part 1 and Part 2. (though part 1 does have a link to Part 2)
I was no sooner back to work this week when I got a bad cold. Took a couple of days off but am in today in the office. This weekend is a long weekend. You don't like to be seen slacking off just before a long weekend (Thanksgiving , here in Canada on Monday) even if you are not feeling well.
Baby Bree is thriving. While we had the rental car I took advantage and went over with Mom for a cuddle.I rarely get to see her like Mom and Laurie do. She's so bright and she's laughing and smiling now. Staci's doing a lot better than she thinks she is, and she's finding it tough but it seems no worse that all new mothers go through. Laurie is there a lot and that helps. You only have to see how well the baby is doing to know she's doing it right. We'll be at Laurie's for Thanksgiving on Sunday but I'll probably still have the dregs of the cold and I won't be able to hold her because I don't want to give her my cold. Because she was 2 months premature, she's developing a little slower but is doing exactly what she should, just two months or less behind. At 5 months old, her developmental age is that of a 3-4 month old because of the prematurity.
