May 16, 2013: First Time Somewhere Else
(Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.) Today, Rebecca — for the first time — went to the bathroom somewhere besides our house.
A Shelved House Is A Happy House
Houses should come with more shelves, in my opinion. One can never have too many shelves, cupboards, cabinets, closets, and “storage solutions”.

Frustrating morning with RLF. She’d say she wanted to play hide-n-seek; I would hide and then she’d just ignore me. She’d ask me to read a book, choose a book and bring it to me; I’d start reading it and she would walk away. This went on all morning. After nap time, she was much[...]

Freeze warning for tonight. Just a few days ago, they were predicting tonight’s low to be 40-something, now they’re saying upper 20s. This always happens a few days after we switch out the winter comforter for a summer quilt (which we did a week ago), or right after I start wearing shorts for the first[...]

Quick grocery trip early. Rebecca reminded the cashier that she needed “Buddy Bucks” (the store hands them to kids and there’s a prize machine) by saying “Where my buh buh?” (Where are my Buddy Bucks?) She got four instead of the usual two, and got plenty of points plus an instant winner. Pretty good day.
March 16, 2013: Shelves
Rebecca watched and enjoyed Wreck-it-Ralph in the morning; we made a trip to Lowes for spade drill bits and Rebecca found a pink tape measure she liked ($3). She’s been borrowing my tape measures for months, so I figured it was time she had her own. Afternoon: I finished sanding the boards I’d cut yesterday,[...]
Early 2013: To Do List
Some things on my “To Do List”, mostly related to home improvement: (Note: Some of these are actually “might do someday”, rather than “need to do”.) * Finish going through “old stuff” (mostly documents, but also books, CDs, everything else) Cost: $0 Ease: time-consuming * Shelf in laundry room, north wall Cost: $20? Ease: easy[...]

Another beautiful day; 62°F in the morning, a brief high of 93. Rebecca urged me on another walk, this time trying to leave before breakfast. I made her eat, and then we left. (Copyright © 2012 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)

101°F for the high. I used LUS24Z joist hangars (image) to put the cross-beams on my garage shelves, and the cross-beams connected my rear rails to the front rails. I’d intended the shelf surfaces to be plywood, but MDF was cheaper for the same size/thickness and didn’t bend as much. I’d only bought three MDF[...]
Aug. 24-25, 2012: Notes
Some thoughts from the last couple of days: * Started mapping out the studs on the garage’s north wall for the big upcoming shelf project. Discovered that the studs aren’t a uniform 16 inches apart. Most of them are, but because of the length of the house, two studs are only 7″ apart, while the[...]

Flickr did their biggest change ever this evening. There’s a little more about that on my other blog. I’m seriously considering ending my eight-year relationship with Flickr. If only there were another decent place to share photos (and remember, I said “decent”, so no one suggest Facebook). Rebecca worked on learning my limits again today.[...]

WEATHER: 72-93°F, mostly cloudy RLF requested the playground today, after a few weeks of not going, so I said okay. She wouldn’t walk there; only rode in the stroller. And only played there for about five minutes before she was ready to come home. (This is why we’d quit going in the first place.) She[...]
- Forgot To Mention: May by Wil C. Fry
➤ A couple of nights ago, Rebecca woke up crying about 2 a.m. My wife heard it, rushed in. RLF said she needed to go to the bathroom. MF took her; RLF did. Then RLF went back to sleep. (I didn’t wake up. Noises will prevent me from falling asleep, but very little will wake[...]
- May 18, 2013: More Hotter by Wil C. Fry
After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]
