Well, would you look at that.

Macron did it, beat out the alt-right lady Putin la Pen. Good for him. Nicely done. Though that ten point lead, bit of a squeaker in this point in time. Could have done with a twenty to thirty point lead, but those Alties aren’t going anywhere, am I right? Yeah – I’m right.

Back to Monday! Busy weekend that felt both too long and too short, especially after the four day Easter weekend we had previously. Our newest nephew was born yesterday afternoon at some point. He went a full seven days late. Little shit. Ha. Glad he’s here with us, and welcome to the land of the living, nearer to the close of Covid times than at any point in the last two plus years. It’s not totally done with us, but here we are. Glad to have you on board. Ok? Great.

I have my fourth jab booked for a week thursday, glad to have it. Us immune suppressed types gotta take all the help we can get! Get it in me! I want to be able to take the kids bowling, and to indoor parks, and movies and such. Get back to the full spectrum of living. Carefully, and masked, but doing fun stuff again. Going places and having experiences out of the ordinary. Summer helps with that, immensely. Lots to go and do outdoors, and away from crowds.

Did a pretty good chunk of wood working last week. Easy simple stuff. Nothing to bask in the glory of. I feel as though I need to start something a little more substantial, and that I don’t have to rush to complete in one day. Almost into open door weather. But building a table is lots of fun. Especially a small coffee table, that doesn’t have a trestle, or four legs. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.

There is the matter of the gazebo too. Lots of calls for rain this week. Might need to postpone that project again. I am very excited to see it go up though. That’ll be a massive item ticked off of the to-do list from several years ago. If I recall, we got it in late October or November of the year it arrived, so that meant not building it right away. Then life gets in the way of doing builds like that. Meant to do it last summer, but Covid meant no summer camps, thus no alone time to build outside with minions running around needing to be entertained and watched over constantly. Ugh. I cannot abide by helicopter parenting. What a waste of resources. Kids need some happy, healthy time to work out play time by themselves, safely ensconced in a locked & private yard, in a quiet suburb. But I digress.

Needed to purchase some fonts for a project this morning, but otherwise I’m all caught up. Have a great week.
