I don't know how single parents do it. I was in charge of Lucy all weekend days while Tracy was working. I don't know how my mom does it. It's really hard. And tiring. Although me staying up late to rewire the AV Rack probably doesn't help any. But Lucy seems to be eating more, and interacting more, when she isn't eating or sleeping or crying about not eating and sleeping. So there's like 30 minutes or so there where she responds to stuff. Very cute. And something I should be getting on video. Tracy's much better at making the baby talk. I, of course, am much more reserved. Should strike a nice balance between the two of us. Saw the Cases this weekend, in town for Lisa's sister's graduation party. They came out on Friday afternoon/night, hang out with Lucy and Tracy who had the day off. Got to grill for the second time this year, and first time bringing out the sofa cushions for the deck. That was nice. And there's still so many spiders up there. It's seriously crazy. Like Arachnophobia the movie crazy. Went to dinner with them and Jespy and Missy and Espy's sister and family for Jespy's combined birthdays. Got to see my first iPhone 4. Couldn't check out FaceTime because no WiFi in the restaurant, and couldn't really browse to any websites to check the Retina Display because signal was bad in the restaurant. Also got to show off my iPad. Tit for tat. Left Lucy with the in-laws. Also saw Eclipse, and the theater wasn't even that packed. The rest of the weekend didn't leave the house. Got a Powerline ethernet adapter, which I'm using instead of Extending the network with the Airport Extreme to the living room. So much more stable. No idea if it's faster, but it never goes down. Tempted to get a couple more to use instead of the network extending I'm doing. Also, VPN to work is much more stable on my work machine, so I'm gonna try going back to that solely for work. Seems pretty solid tonight. Started rewatching Eureka from the beginning.
