Man, it’s been a week since I posted here, hasn’t it? So I’ve either been ridiculously busy or trying like hell to force relax in between my various and sundry obligations.
So today’s is Daphne’s 10th birthday!
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we were here…
And somehow we’ve made it to here…
And I would say, “none the worse for wear” but look at that poor guy. He looks like a swamp wizard.
Daph is currently at school (hopefully having a good day, because the drop off didn’t go so well this morning) and we sent cupcakes for her and her classmates to celebrate today.
We also decorated the house a bit and set all of her gifts on the table…
And it still isn’t right.
Well, all the gifts save one…
The big gift from her parents arrived in a couple boxes last week, replete with its own hobby kit of washers, bolts and tools…
Yes, we replaced her bed.
We also moved it to the corner, which opened the rest of the room up quite a bit.
I put it together on Friday afternoon in between meetings (did I mention I’d been busy?), rearranged the rest of the room, then disassembled* her old bed. She seems to really like it; she’s slept quite well both nights that we’ve had it built.
[*Disassemble – sometimes in violent troglodytic fashion since the majority of the screws had been completely stripped upon its last assembly, so it proved impossible to take apart with any dignity.)
Okay, I’ve gotta run. See you tomorrow.
