Yesterday was a strange day, it started off rough, got better, and ended rough. There was a half day of daycare which worked out fine, but as I sat down to write I was also checking my bank account and saw some fraud on one of my cards. Seeing someone has violated my security is never a good feeling, still I did my due diligence by reporting it and I’m confident it will all get sorted out. That put a delay to my start though I still managed to get on the exercise bike for a session. After that the half day was up, we picked up the elder princess and went to Mcdonalds for their playpen. There were a lot of kids playing there and even some from the same class, it was something to do since the rain came in heavy. Once we were home and the kids were getting settled I was doing some work in the background painting a giant ampersand on my armor to match my shirts. The process was making a stencil off the shirt, using a paint pen to mark the outline and painting it in. All that got done through the day and I was feeling good exercising, getting work done, and was ready to enjoy watching the rain when I realized I put the ampersand on backwards. While the paint was still slightly wet I needed to remove it all. Today I’ll work on finishing that clean up and reapplying the protective coat for the steel. The practice run went well, the final draft should be even better.
