Once again I realized I didn’t post anything for yesterday. However, I’m going to skip doing an official entry for it. Just briefly:
Our library system went down yesterday while I was eating breakfast. For some reason, the server had rebooted itself and the database hadn’t automatically started. I’m still not sure what the root cause was (though we suspect a UPS) but I got everything back online fairly easily. The clean-up of all the other dependent systems was a little more tiresome. I also was the church pianist this week but Calvin had to stay home since he’s still contagious. It was really weird going somewhere by myself. I felt like I had lost an appendage.

Downs

• Calvin’s still technically sick. He doesn’t seem unhappy but it looks like he is still contagious and needs to stay home from daycare tomorrow.

Ups

• Jaeger got up this morning with Calvin so I could sleep in a little bit.
• Jaeger and I went on a date! We went to see the Sherlock Holmes movie and then went out for ice cream afterwards. In the beginning, we budgeted for 2 dates a month + babysitter fees. However, neither of us like using the phone which is an essential part of hiring a babysitter. As a result, we’re lucky if we make it out once a month.
• Jaeger and I finished filling out our estate planning questionnaire and mailed it back to the lawyer.

Cute Calvin Moment

• Calvin really likes riding on his little car walker (it has a place for riding or he can use the back as a walker to steady himself). His cackle is hilarious when Jaeger or I push him really fast making VROOM VROOM noises. I have a feeling that he’s going to love entertainment parks once he gets older.

Simplification

• Cleaned out one of my food storage boxes downstairs and threw away some scary dried fruit that was starting to petrify.
