To the races...

While I'm out running errands before eight...

Oxbear and Yali buzz south to play therapy...

Then I'm back to grab Patience for our volunteer shifts...

Oxbear and Yali return for Puck to bring the car out to Wentzville... he and J have a side job refurbishing some kind of vendor's shack at the up-and-coming Renaissance fair... “We're supposed to fix the roof and redo the floorboards... I think...” // “Do you know how to fix a roof or repair floorboards?” // “Nope”...

Back to put lunch in the oven... realize both pairs of the Spanish teacher's scissors are still in my bag... run them back again...

Laundry and dishes at home...

...while Oxbear is on call after call in his back-in-the-basement-again desk...

...and Yali and Patience are jumping and laughing and tossing buckets of water on each other on the trampoline...

Then Oxbear joins another board meeting online...

...as Yali and I escort Patience to the studio for an hour...

Home with just enough time for Yali to change into his Scout shirt as I toss a quesadilla in the pan for him...

Then back out to his first Cub Scout meeting of the year for games and exercise and a long list of events and activities and requirements for the year...

Back home just before eight o'clock where Patience is watching Japanese dramas and painting her nails...

Puck and J still trucking stuff around in Wentzville before crashing over to Raising Cane's for a late dinner...
