Today I

  • Slightly late to the boat house for the weight circuit.  I started on station 3 with Tom Peters and Brian Kelly.  I managed to move though without too much trouble, but by the time I got to the front squats, my lower back- IT band area was pretty shot.  There's something I'm doing which wears it out, and then I'm just done for the circuit. I managed the pace, etc for everything else OK, but I need to drop my splits on the 30 second erg.
  • Got home and munchie had been up with Kel since 6.  He wanted Oliver to go along in his daycare bag. He kept trying to put Oliver in there on the way out, and he looks for Oliver there when I pick him up.  He was a bit sad when I left him at daycare.
  • My back was killing me, so I ended up napping accidentally after I lay down to rest it.
  • I worked on helping Dina realize there was a problem with some tables, which is why her SQL wasn't working.  I felt useful, once more.
  • I reviewed some designs for a mortgage calculator. And tried to write somemethodology stuff.
  • I picked up Johann and tried to take him to the park.  Once more, he doesn't want to be down, he wants me to hold him, and he just kneels and cries that I don't hold him.  He doesn't want a hug, or to try to walk, he just wants me to hold him.  I almost left, but gave him a shot at the swings.  That didn't go too well, either.  I put him down in the grass with all the clovers, hoping the flowers would distract him.  It sort of half worked, he was interested in the kids playing on the big kid gear who had arrived in their dad's bike trailer.  It was enough to get him to stop grumping.  He played with a clover, and I made the mistake of taking out my camera to take pictures.  He saw it, and then wanted to get it from my cargo shorts pocket.  I tried to distract him with cheese stick, which worked a bit, but he wanted me to do something with the half eaten stick, and I had no idea what he wanted me to do.  He got frustrated, though, and so we left.  
  • Back home, Kel had made his dinner, and she fed him.  It's hard to get him to not beg to be picked up and to also not sit on his MCLs, so we focus on one thing at a time.  He ate well while I tended to the garden a bit.  
  • I talked with Jim on the phone about hotel bookings for IN. That seems mostly set.
