- It’s my Friday today because I’ve decided to take tomorrow off to deal with last-minute party preparations. I’d far rather do it the day before than run around on the day of the party exhausting myself before it even begins. It takes no small amount of energy to sing heavy metal, you know!
- My sister-in-law and her 15-month-old son are staying with us through next Tuesday or so. Our house? If there’s such a thing as "the opposite of childproofed," it would fit that definition. I’ve rubber-banded all of the cupboard door handles together and moved fragile things off of low shelves, but there’s not much more I can do to stop He Who Must Touch Everything.
- One funny toddler story so far: he is obsessed with my kid-hating cat. She reacts in the usual way when he tries to touch her: hissing, smacking him with her paw, nipping lightly. He doesn’t care. The cat is so used to terrorizing small children that the lack of reaction actually seems to be mellowing her out a bit.
- Today we were supposed to have our photos taken at work. There would be a serious photo for press releases and a "fun photo" to hang on the wall in the office. I have absolutely no idea what kind of prop I would want to bring for the "fun photo," so I was relieved to get a one-week reprieve. At least it’ll give me time to get a haircut and heal the spot of poison ivy on my neck, if nothing else.
- Speaking of the poison ivy: still itching.
- Well, off to shower and get to work. Today I’m planning on cleaning off my exceedingly messy desk so that when we finally move to the new office (which I expect will be in the next couple of weeks), I’ll be ready to go.
