Well, it was a traditional first day back at work after a long weekend type of day. Somewhat unproductive, but yet enough stuff got done to not look like a complete slacker. 🙂
I took the time today to finally upload pictures from the last few days (today included). I also took the time to re-think the organization I’d been using with Kirstin’s photosets. I ended up creating what I call ‘The Definitive Kirstin Collection‘. This collection is the ‘set of sets’ related to Kirstin. Currently, there are four sets:
So, rather than have the two sets for Kirstin (which had been the case before — the daily set and then one ‘Little Kirstin’ set), I split them up into two major sets (and that will grow with time), and the other sets (daily and holiday/event) have copies of some items from the major sets. These are all put in as part of a collection (the Definitive Collection).
So, to see all of her pictures now, one would go to the Collection page mentioned above. From there one can easily see all of the sets related to just her. Fantastic. That should help a bit with only seeing the more recent images…or only seeing images for a particular event (or the daily set). We’ll see how that goes.
The title of this post (Illumination) is related to something that happened this weekend. The light in the fridge burned out. And you know, as much as that little light would seem to be irrelevant or unnecessary, it’s a real pain in the ass when it’s not around. Don’t get me wrong, I know that fridge inside and out better than anyone (so it’s not for navigation purposes I use the light). When that light is not available, it just bugs me.
This happened on Saturday, and I went to get a replacement this morning before I really sat down at work. We’d been gone Sunday and Monday, more or less, so I didn’t have to deal with it for long, but it’s still an annoyance. But it’s fixed now, and I can consider my fridge to once again be illuminated.
On another note, it’s snowing here right now (again). Although this time it’s not nearly like the last time. We’re only slated to get that 1-3″ range tonight…which would be just fine by me. I like snow, but after the last storm, I’m ready to be done with it now for the season. It’s time for things to green up (and stay green for a while). But, the silver lining is that it’s supposed to be back in the normal temperature range come next week, so that’ll be nice.
All that said, I’m kinda running out of things to write about tonight. I’ve got a few things scribbled down on post-it notes (topics on which to ramble), but I’m not feeling verbose enough to really write much of anything about those items. It’s been a long day, and I’m looking forward to another more normal night of sleep again. We got home late enough last night that it put all three of us a bit out of whack.
Considering that I put Kirstin to bed around 10:25, and although she screamed for a few minutes (due to being a bit over-tired), by the time Beth went upstairs at 10:30, she was completely out and didn’t even budge when Beth put a little hat on her for the night. We keep her fairly well bundled at night, because the thermostat is set to 64 overnight, so on many nights the furnace doesn’t run from 10:15(PM) until about 5(AM). It can get a little chilly (it’s fantastic sleeping temperature) for a little one, though. But, if she gets cold she’ll definitely let us know. 🙂
Anyway, I think I’m heading for bed now. Depending upon whether or not I do the choir thing tomorrow night, I may take the time to ramble a bit more heavily about those topics I’ve post-it noted.
Until then…
