Tonight I had a ticket to go see Daniel Lanois (probably in the top 3 of my musical heroes) and Brian Blade (my fave drummer) and Jim Wilson (a dude that plays bass) in DC, but instead I am skipping the concert and opting for a relaxing night at home and an early bedtime. I hope that this fact conveys the extent to which I AM FUCKING TIRED. I'm ready to be done with Christmas Carol, and I'm ready for a day in which I don't go to the theater, and I'm ready for a few days off in a row.
Jeanners' dad is visiting and helping with the kitchen renovation. I feel bad because I haven't really been helping while he's been here, but I've seriously been at work the whole time. He's doing a really good job of replacing our plumbing, though, and Jerns is doing a good job getting the walls ready for the drywallers.
I went to the doctor for a physical and I think she's got a thing for me, because she said I looked gorgeous.

Wildcrats
So Sam's new thing is that you have to call him by a new name. And every hour or so he picks a new name. And you have to call him that name in every sentence that you say. The following is a non-exhaustive list of names that he likes to be called: Mr. Moon, Lesley, Wildcrats (which is actually Wild Kratts, which is apparently some PBS kids show that he watches at the babysitter's house), Susan, Mowgli, Kaa, and Okami.
Today when we went downtown there was a parade and Sammers got to sit in a fire truck.
I am in the midst of building A Christmas Carol, which is a bit overwhelming but I am doing my best to stay un-overwhelmed. I am making myself take every Tuesday off during the build (although I'll be working nights and weekends) to maintain a little bit of life balance.
Jeannie's Dad is coming out on Thursday to help us with some of our renovation work. Over the weekend we tore out our kitchen counter and sink and so now we just have a stove and refrigerator in there. I've been putting in the new electrical stuff over the past few days, and then when that's done we'll have somebody come out and do the drywall, and somebody come out and do the plumbing, and then we'll put in the new cabinets and new appliances and countertops and stuff. This can all hopefully be mostly done before Baby #2 arrives. Jeannie's Dad is going to help put up some trim around the house, and maybe some electrical work, and maybe some gas pipe work.
I have a doctor's appointment on Monday. I am going to go see Daniel Lanois next Wednesday in DC. Kinda pumped. I'm gonna try and go way early and hang out outside and maybe get to say hi to DL or Brian Blade. Cuz I'm a nerd like that. But these guys are my musical heroes.
