This was an interval punctuated by travel. First we spent a week in Oak Island, NC hanging out with friends and relaxing. Then Avdi was off to Boulder, CO, to get started on his new job. Despite spending so much time out of the house, we somehow managed to make this one of the most productive frolics yet.

Stats:

Points worth of effort planned: 28
Completed: 17
Missed: 11
0 Unestimated

What went well:

  • We felt we were more mindful of the tasks we were trying to accomplish, which led to getting more of them done.
  • Stacey and the kids got on just fine without Avdi for a week.
  • Stacey and L. found costume supplies, and L. manufactured fairy wings and other costume parts for the Fairy Festival
  • Avdi’s trip to CO went well
  • Stacey made some awesome raw foods
  • Avdi started his polyphasic sleep experiment
  • Stacey and L. had a good time at the PA Herb Festival, came home with lots of new plants
  • We reconfigured the living room to a layout we’re much happier with
  • Passover was a success, with lots of good friends and good food - despite almost zero prep time.
  • We toured a property for sale that we liked so much we’re accelerating our home-buying plans
  • Stacey started on a food elimination diet to track down the source of her allergies

Things that didn’t go so well

  • Didn’t get started on Fairy Festival costumes early enough
  • Kashti has entered into an ear-splitting “squawking” phase

Ideas for the future

  • Start prep. for Fairy Festival (or similar events) two months in advance
