Roby skins her knees a lot, it’s to the point that she refers to wounds generally as “knee.” There was some confusion, or perhaps some clarification, when she noticed that my knees were hurt. I burned both while putting up some roofing. Black stuff, it got so hot in the sun that I didn’t actually notice the burns until later on, when I was scrambling over lumber. 

The roof’s done now, and still in July, my big summer project’s finished. The flashy one, at least. Next is going to be installing the walk in cooler into the garage, that has to wait until the drain in that particular ceiling is fixed, but that oughta happen tomorrow. Then we can clean out the basement and prepare the whole bevvy of winter projects. 

I write a lot about projects, and I think that’s just becuase it’s a way for me to keep them at the front part of my brain. Really I should get a notebook to do that job. Routine is a crucial part of parenting and adult life that we have not truly mastered. 

Well, the first step..
