I feel bad being away from Roby and Abby. But I’ve got work to do during the week, and sometimes on the weekend, and most of the stuff I’ve got to take care of around the house is not really condusive to baby ears. I wear hearing and eye protection while I work around the shop, and they don’t make any small enough for Roby. So when I’m doing things that feel productive, that aren’t watching Roby, I’m away from her and leaving Abby to do that, the most important work. 
I don’t like it. 
But still, I’ve got to get things done. 

Tomorrow I’m going to move some tires out of the barn. That and some timber and some contractor bags full of kindling. No idea what I’ll do with that, we don’t go through a lot of kindling. I also have to move some great big jugs that I’ll use to make wine one day. Mostly I need to make room for that floor I mentioned. 
Then I have to haul some wood from the shed into the garage and also there’s a little bit of bare tile in the kitchen I’ve been meaning to fix for a year. Also my father in law is working on some hardware for a sliding barn door for my office. It’s my responsibility to make the door itself, but I’ve not gotten around to it. 

I’m eager for the days we can do things together, or at least a bit closer. I’d be comfortable with Roby sitting by the garden while I do some sort of something far enough for the noise not to be a problem, but still able to see her and Mom.
