Life and such

Things are moving forward fairly well. Declan is getting very mobile, he’s just still a bit uncoordinated, but I have to be very careful.

He had his first taste of chocolate today which was my own stupid. I was trying to use up the last of the Nutella with my toast this morning, and I stupidly put it down on the floor (I was eating in the living room) and before I realized it he had crawled over to the Nutella and had his hands in it.

We got it all cleaned up right away BUT I’m watching him like a hawk because Nutella is chocolate, dairy and nuts all kinds of things he’s not supposed to get into for a year or so at least.

I’m getting things together right now for my first punkyswap package. I’ll get things sorted out properly on Friday once D gets paid. We should hopefully be able to get my car back tomorrow or Thursday.

My other project for right now, other than carpet cleaning to make sure I got the last of the chocolate up and sweet potatoes, is adjustting the straps on Declan’s car seat, and getting some work done on NaNo, seeing as I am seriously behind, and have been at a mega-writer’s block for the past couple of days.

But, yes, my car is in the shop. I realize I didn’t explain that one. We were out on Saturday and just as we got to our friend’s house and we started to smell something weird. We turned into our friend’s parking lot and parked, and then there was a ‘low coolant’ warning right as I went to turn the engine off. We wound up erring on the side of caution and having other friend’s drive us home and getting the car towed (after some rigamorale) to the repair shop the next day. We’re glad we did because it turns out it was the healing coil.

We’ll manage. Just things will be tighter again.
