Random Stuff
This year, Kristi, Emma and I are hunting for the Winter Carnival medallion. We won't find it, of course; we have no time for this stuff, and even if we did, we don't know enough about Saint Paul and Ramsey County to properly interpret the clues. Maybe. Anyway, today after school Emma and I poked around a possible site for a while. We didn't find the medallion, of course, but we did find a message carved in the snow on a couple of picnic tables: "Happy Hunting". Don't know if that was from a fellow medallion seeker or someone more official, but it excited Emma no end.Of course, the way the weather's going, all those other people roaming around Highland Park with us today, digging for the medallion, won't be needing snow shovels much longer. It's supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow and Friday, with rain possible.
Things are finally starting to move again on the upstairs remodel. We've got doors, and we've disconnected the old gas heater and had the old vent opening to the chimney bricked in. Hopefully next week we can get someone in to move the extremely heavy and bulky elliptical trainer down to the first floor and the computer room, where we've made space for it, so that we can then get the hardwood floor refinished, after which we can put up baseboards and the face frame on the built-in bed. It's a fun little dance coordinating all of this, and thankfully Kristi is doing it.
Last week, Kristi and Emma were both sick. Emma's still all sniffly and congested, but she's back at school. Kristi got better, and then apparently got something else; she was feverish and shivering when she came home from work Monday night, and stayed in bed all day Tuesday watching "Lord of the Rings". This is extremely out of character for her (not the "LoTR" part, she loves Viggo Mortenson; the staying in bed instead of running herself ragged part). It worked, though -- she's back at work tonight. I don't seem to have fully caught whatever they had yet, but I am feeling very tired and cranky.
Oh, wait -- that's normal. Never mind.
