Day #3698 (Thu., Feb. 20, 2020) – First Snow!!!
It was starting to look like we wouldn’t have any snow this year, but at 3 pm today, things changed. You can see the kids having a snowball fight in the photo to the left.
Earlier in the day both my wife and I went to the doctor. My wife got some meds and I was basically told to “tough it out”. Since my wife and I had an appointment around the same time I took the kids with me. My actual appointment was one hour later, so I took the kids to McDonalds on Franklin Street and they each got a Happy Meal.
This afternoon I drove Katie out to Walgreens to get my wife’s prescription. We stopped off at Dunkin Donuts beforehand for a donut. This was effectively Daddy/Daughter Day #90. Katie and I got into a discussion on why she starts things and never seems to finish them. For example, she is currently reading about ten different books. I told her of a TED Talk that I heard recently where this guy says he has “Procrastination Monkey”, that keeps him from getting things done. The only thing that will scare “Procrastination Monkey” away is “Deadline Monster”.
