Well, after picking Kouryou-chan up from school, we went over the park and the library, where she played on the slide and the swings, and then we picked up Edward Fudwupper Fibbed Big and I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today, both of which Kouryou-chan can read without a problem. I fed her hamburgers and boxed up years of Child, Cooking Light, and Dr. Dobbs, all of which will get moved to the garage and, if I'm honest, will probably never get read again. The recipies from CL are all in a compendium, which we get, and takes up the space of maybe three issues. Plus, our subscription gives us access to the complete on-line recipie database, so it's not like any of this is problematic.

I gave Kouryou-chan a bath and let her watch Kimba the White Lion, and then put her to bed after reading the aforementioned library books. I didn't sleep well. A certain little girl crawled into bed with me about midnight and kept kicking me in the back.

I woke up when the alarm went off and crawled out of bed, most unhappy, made coffee, fed Kouryou-chan her breakfast (she asked for a breakfast bar, so that's what she got), made her lunch, and was getting her ready to go when tygereclipse asked for a ride to work. I was heading into downtown anyway, so I said "sure."

I wish I'd known how far north of downtown her work was. It was an extra forty minutes of round-trip before I made it to my destination: Re-PC, which took our dead monitor, dead computer, and miscellaneous parts and disposed of them responsibly.
