tuesday come 'n gone

well okay, not quite gone, but by the time this posts it will be. not too early a morning this morning; got out of the house at about 7:05 expecting significant traffic on the way to the Nichole & Chris's. conveniently, the traffic was really light, and we got there eith enough time to spare that i actually got to visit for a few minutes. nothing like dropping in on yer homies' morning routine. it was an added bonus. Loren spent the day with Aunt Nichole, Uncle Chris, Ethan and Cole, and i gather Chris' father Jerry was there also. Nichole took them all out to the park for awhile. Loren rolled some D&D characters and worked on his 'dad assignment' for the day (namely telling me all about the characters he rolled). he made 8 less errors than last time, it was an improvement overall. he had a good time again, that's three days this week he's gotten to spend with his cousins, two days he's spent some time with Melissa & Jason, one with Chris & Nichole, and one with his grandparents- all in all, a heavily Pelkey beginning to his spring break. we've come home pretty soon after i got off work every night and spent the remainder of the evening watching Dragonball Z, playing games, reading our book, and generally chummin' it up. it's been a great 5 days for me, and he seems really relaxed; i think he's gotten as much out of it as i have.

had another relatively easy day at work today, and fairly productive, although there's been a bit of a bottleneck on material. suits me fine however, since i've had Loren in the evenings and going for broke leaves me with very little left in the tank after work- i tend to leave it all out on the field as much as possible. tomorrow will be an early morning and they're anticipating a larger amount of material to machine, so tomorrow could be a long one- we'll see. it'll be what it'll be. got some chores i've neglected the last few days to catch up on, so if it turns out to be an 8 hr day i'll be alright with that.

off to check the email. then ZZZZZland for me. PEACE people-
