The house still feels bare even though we took the Christmas decorations down last week. It will feel normal soon, but it is still bare for now.
Ice Cream for Dinner
There is pride in my heart – a rite of passage. Laura texted this picture and said, “Normal and sane use of a meal swipe.” Her momma had ice cream for dinner on several occasions in college. To me, it meant freedom and the ability to make my own decisions. I simply love this picture.
He Cannot Help Himself
Jim cannot help himself. He must be inside anything that resembles a box, including John’s laundry hamper. It is a good thing we love this little weirdo.
Amazon
I have been thankful for Amazon this week because it has made it easier to get a couple of things to Laura. She needed laboratory goggles for biology, and they were expensive at the SEMO bookstore. Enter Amazon for $11.
She also needed a new backpack as hers developed a hole and a mousepad because the desk surface is very rough. The backpack was delivered earlier this week, and the mousepad should arrive this coming week.
Oh, I also did not forget myself. I found a new valance for the kitchen window since the one that was there had faded from the sun over the years.
It has been Amazon for the win all week at the Kassel Castle!
Pet Bandana
Laura bought Jim a SEMO pet bandana for Christmas. Jim is not particularly thrilled to be wearing it, but he also is not fighting it. That is a win!
Character
Laura has not drawn anything in quite a while, but she got inspired today. Her best friend is going to participate in a Dungeons and Dragon campaign, and she needed a character. Enter Detective Harrison Fish. Sometimes, you just need a friend to get you going again.
