After a weekend of rain we woke up to blue skies again. Does this mean the carports will
be painted today? I hope so. Right now we have these funny blotches of paint from where the
painters were testing out the new scheme on the carport last summer. It will be nice to have
them fully match the rest of the complex.
I did get up early on the assumption that the painters would be here at eight. I have
to get up early to get Sean up for Ian so that they can get to school before they are blocked
in by the painters. Ian will then be coming home to work since the school year is over. He'll
be working in his hobbit hole office. He will also be picking up Sean from school some nights
(like tonight) because I commented that I haven't really gotten a moment to myself this year
so far. With him picking up Sean, I can have two hours (really one hour driving and one hour
free) to myself before arriving home for dinner: that will be a nice treat.
Bloody Nose:
The school just called Ian and said that Sean and one of his friends crashed head first
into each other. Sean ended up with a bloody nose but it has now stopped bleeding so he can
stay at school. I'm sure Ian's hair is now standing on end. I had to chuckle given how many
times my brother was falling over and bleeding from his nose, his mouth, his head. We even
had to take him to the ER once or twice. My little brother cured me of panicking over little
boy antics.
Painter Update:
Ian just reported in that the painters have arrived and are painting in front of our home.
He's inside "fiddling" with code and making breakfast. That reminds me; I should have breakfast!
He'll be stuck inside the house until they leave at three.
