§ On Monday Caroline came down with a cold and by Tuesday we were both feeling pretty miserable. The rest of the week drifted by in a DayQuil-induced fog, filling tiny trash cans with so many crumpled tissues. As of waking up this morning I feel like I may have turned a corner and started feeling a bit better? Fingers crossed.
§ I started reading The Bee Sting by Paul Murray and I’ve been tearing through it at a rate I haven’t seen in a while—more than 400 pages over the past week and a half.
Don’t get turned off by reviews that call the book sad. Don’t get me wrong, there is an underlying theme of loneliness that weaves throughout the book but the book is a modern tragic comedy where the comedic aspects are more than enough to lighten up the darker themes.
Overall so far, very good and very Irish. I’m looking forward to finishing the last third.
§ On Friday, we got our first bout of freezing rain? Hail? Snow?! No matter what is was, I’m not ready for winter yet.
§ On Saturday, Caroline and I coached our first robotics session of the year. It is significantly more difficult, logistically, now that we have the baby but we are determined to make it work, one way or another.
§ We’ve discovered some kind of “slow” water leak somewhere in our kitchen. It’s fast enough to have destroyed half a dozen floor tiles around our sink over the course of a week. We have a plumber coming to investigate on Tuesday so I’m sure I’ll have more to share next week, unfortunately.
