Winding Down

Now that summer is winding down, there is a rush to get things wrapped up. Today I spent a couple hours helping Kristie prime Kenzie's room. However, when the fumes became too strong, Kristie turned everything over to me, which is always risky.

Initially, I planned to just prime the closet, but I ended up doing most of the room once Kristie felt light headed. But I enjoyed getting my little girl's room ready. I can't wait to see her in it.

Kristie is anxiously counting down the remaining 56 days. She is tired of not being able to do many of the things she used to. Plus, she has an acute pain in her back that makes sitting or lying in any one position too long very uncomfortable.

Fifty six days? It doesn't seem real!

We spent Saturday cheering Casey on at his paintball tournament in Bemidji. The tournament was held at the fair. But since it was pretty tame - KoKo had hopes of riding some rides, but the big ride there was the ferris wheel - we didn't spend a lot of time on the fairgrounds.

Bemidji had their crazy days too. We decided to avoid the mall and venture downtown instead. However, the things on sale downtown were 'rummage saleish' so we didn't waste much time there.

On the positive side, Casey had a really good time. His team fell just short of qualifying for the finals, but they were light years ahead of where they were last year.

Tomorrow I start my MNHS class at the gorgeous Swenson house in TRF. I have the readings for day #1 finished. I was quite pleased since there were several fiction pieces in it. I also started the readings for day #2. These were even better.

I can't wait for class.
