• Went to the gym on Saturday and did about two hours of climbing.  I was still pretty sore from climbing on Thursday and Friday so I stuck to the “easy” walls and the bouldering cave.  I also bought a book on climbing so I can start to figure out the “right” way to do this.
• Decided to paint the house myself.  I was going to hire a friend of mine to paint that inside, but she has a full plate with school and work and won’t be able to do it.  So fuck it - I’ll just go to Lowe’s myself and buy all the shit I need.  I’ll put the money I save towards one of those new sexy iMacs.
• Carolyn came by the house and picked up the last bits of her stuff.  It’s funny how we managed to divide up thousands of dollars of furniture in a matter of minutes, but we poured over DVD’s and CD’s for well over an hour.  But - it went well, and I even made her some food while she was “visiting” (is it visiting when you come to a house that you own but don’t live in anymore?)
• Carolyn brought Muskoka with her, and it was *great* to see him.  He was very happy to see his daddy, and we spent some time play fighting and wrestling.
• I gave Sydney a lot of attention this weekend, and maybe gave her one or two too many “bickies” for being a good girl.  She’s been a real trooper throughout this separation, and she’s given me a lot of reasons to keep my chin up and my head high.
• I decided that what I really need is a Volkswagen Eurovan camper.  I want to circumnavigate North America next spring - and wouldn’t it be way cool for me and Sydney to do that in a Volkswagen camper?  I just need to drum up the $20,000 that these things go for used.
