Spring Break Status Update

Thirteen years ago today (in 2002), Returned Mike, Kathy, and I took a midday trip to Marsh Sands Beach, where Chompy practiced running away continuously until we buried her. Behind her is the LL Bean backpack I wore through high school, which later took Rebecca all of the way through PT school, and still hangs whole in the closet today.

Things I Did on Wednesday:

• Passed the AWS Solutions Architect exam with a less impressive, yet functional 77%


• Picked up all of the winter detritus in the mud pit I call a yard, helped slightly by the results of a game played by Anna's kids two weeks ago called "Drop Sticks In This Puddle"


• Had Domino's for a lunch of luxury


• Resecured the molding around our sliding closet doors, which suffers from our superhuman strength when we slide them open with unstoppable force


• Changed the air filter in the HVAC


• Cleared out a backlog of Hearthstone quests


• Took a 1.5 hour nap with Booty then ran 3 miles on the treadmill while watching Lie to Me


• Went to a Cookology class with Kathy, and made tomato polenta, prosciutto-wrapped pears, and chocolate melty truffles. Learned that Rebecca is pro-level for wrapping things in proscuitto.
