The boys and I went swimming before I had to go to class. Dad was somewhere–where was it? I believe he was picking up our son. There are various places he gets picked up from depending on the location of Elianna’s cross country practice. The arrangement now is that when he gets picked up he has to drive home. This is how he’s going to continue getting driving practice and working up to his required amount of hours.

I had these grand plans of starting in September again with a routine but this latest fog and round of sickness has thrown things off. Since the day we drove home from last month’s vacation my steps have been barely crossing over a mile and my productivity at home has been very low. I did take some time to clear the kitchen counter off in the afternoon, also before going to class. Everyone’s things went to the dining room table.

They were sorted into everyone’s normal place settings. From there people were supposed to put things away and when I came home from class I could see that they did. I made a sign to place on the cupboard, above the counter space where I had cleaned. The sign says, “Please do not store things on this counter. Thank you.” I really like it. I went in early to get some IT help. Class was done early so I went home after that.
