- 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.
