That was an exhausting weekend, everything went well, I just need some rest. The baby starts daycare tomorrow, that will be my chance, so I only need to make it one day and a wake up. There’s so much to process it will take me at least a couple days, but my wife invited our guests to stay for Christmas also, maybe I’ll be processing all month with new information at the end. I told my Army buddies it was surreal having them here, it’s been almost 15 years since we were in Iraq together. Back then the three of us did in fact sleep side by side, I try to provide better living conditions, but they’re happy to set up in the garage. I’ll have to furnish my garage for future visitors. The way I structure my life is to make pretty the house and whatever is on display for my wife and visitors to appreciate while I am happy to spend time in a shed. My garage buddies enjoyed the shed and the 17 year old nephew even said it was “cool” in there, it must be true because he barely said anything else. There was an episode of Black Mirror where the husband dies and is brought back as an AI with a realistic body, he ends up sitting patiently in the attic until he’s needed, that’s often how I feel in my shed. All of my thinking revolves around the baby so when I have free time, I end up waiting until I’m needed. Hopefully with daycare I’ll be able to get back to work again. There’s a fence project that’s high on my list, removing a chain link fence and setting it up else where. There’s also Christmas decorating to be done, the boys went with us to get a Christmas tree last weekend.
