Midweek.
New comics day.
D&D game night. Father-in-law’s birthday dinner.
And, it’s a bright, sunshiny day.
I’d call that an all-around good day.
Now that (most of) the shock of the whole “You’re having twins” surprise has worn off, we’re looking at the things we’re going to need two of. (I’m also trying NOT to think of things like “two cars… two college funds… two of everything…”) This is going to be something of an adventure. And, of course, this twins-related story showed up on Big Shiny Robot yesterday. (Although, it does make me wonder whether the twins will have superpowers and what powers they might wind up with…)
Last night, I had to go to the local Home Depot and Lowe’s. (Yeah, I know… rough life…) A couple of sections of our back fence blew over on Monday night, so they need to get replaced. I don’t know if this fence was the handiwork of the house’s previous owners or the ones before them, but the back fence has always looked kind of sad and we had talked about replacing it. This just advances the time table a bit. It turns out that the replacement fencing we’re looking at doesn’t all that expensive. (Fortunately.)
Other than that, it was a rather uneventful night, as I called it an early evening on account of being completely tuckered out.
