The storms just keep rolling through, but that one last week that I posted about was bad.  There are still people w/o power and some roads are still a bit of a mess.  There are broken trees everywhere.  We were blessed.

We are staying busy around here running to Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai, and now another round of swim lessons (likely her last), homework/spelling words, and trying to find spots of nice weather and free time to hang out with our neighbor friends.  Life is pretty good, but it's going too fast.

I still haven't leapt with regard to the flooring.  If one place had what I want and did all the things (e.g., didn't mean I had to buy/stain trim etc) I may have gotten the non-carpeting done at this point.  I need to get someone back in here to help me keep up with cleaning but I hate the thought of spending that money when I should be doing it my darned self.

I'm coming up on a very much needed vacation (cruise).  I'm so far behind through that I haven't booked a hotel for the night before yet.  Fortunately, I didn't find good deals on a flight either (I can drive to NJ), as I hear there is some chaos at Newark airport w/ air traffic control causing major delays and cancellations, and more than that - whistleblowers saying it isn't safe to fly into Newark.  While I don't look forward to that long drive, the goal is worth it.
