Yep, as it turns out, I am all by myself this week. IZ pulled out early Saturday morning with the kid in tow. He and G are spending the week at the new house attempting to get it painted. Or
started, at least. I did not think this was such a great idea as iit’s a long way to drive on your own–not to mention “camp” with an 8 year old while trying to work in the morning and paint in the evening. However, when I pointed to all these reasons for not going IZ promptly quipped, “I go to prepare a place for you.” Heh heh… Imagine using the words of Christ against me. Sheesh.

I have mixed emotions about their being gone. On the one hand I miss them terribly. On the other hand, sleeping on the ground for a week and breathing in latex fumes would spell disaster for me. So, I’m better off just hanging out and attempting to get some work done. To that end, I should go. But do keep me company in the comments this week.
