Last Home Game, then Invitational

Tonight is the last Home Game, which means we're almost done with Marching Band season. Tomorrow is the big Invitational. Then I can finally rest!

James, unfortunately, will not be able to rest. He has to keep playing with the band. Inside. In the Band Room. Every day.

And we will go back to having our traditional Friday night pizza/movie night.

Maybe.

The weather has turned cold, and that means it's time to hunker down and get everything winterized. Out there in the upper Midwest, it's important to remember that it's going to get very cold for a very long time, which means that there won't be any opportunity to do anything outside for awhile (unless you seriously like to go play out in the snow in your front yard), and you don't want to be trying to get all your insulation and weather-stripping done when it's already cold. Those jobs are best done right before it gets really cold!

I was hoping to complete my third bay project before things got really cold, but that didn't happen. Too many Saturdays got tied up with other things. And everyone keeps scheduling things in the middle of the day, which means that none of the all-day projects (which means most of mine) can even start, because there's no point in starting them early on a Saturday morning when they won't be completed by Sunday night. I need my Saturdays completely free if anything is to be accomplished.

Yes, I'm slower than Christmas when it comes to getting projects done.

Tomorrow, I'll have a few hours to get some of the minor house projects done (hopefully), but when two o'clock rolls around, everything will have to be stopped so we can get ready for the Band Invitational, and that will take the rest of the day, right up til 10 p.m.

Time for a nap now!
