I can't believe I just took 2 weeks off from bike commuting. Granted, I spent 1 week in Florida on vacation, and actually was on a bike down there, but still funny that was my last post. Yeah, went with the Cases to Anna Maria Island, south of Tampa, north of Sarasota. Fun, relaxing. Plenty of sleep because I had to sleep with Jackson since he was having none of the pack n' play that was provided. Lots of pool time which the kids loved. Some beach time, but pool was definitely more popular. Also, the Abando family got really tan. Lucy got the darkest of us all, which takes me back to when I was young and would darken like that. Lucy was kind of sick while we were there, and Jackson got sick on the last day and the following week, like me. So that postponed his first day at DayCare until Wednesday. But he did and is doing great there. Apparently he eats a lot, so either day care agrees with him or he's going through a growth spurt. I do have to remember not to walk down the alley, because his room faces into the alley, and he saw me last week once in the middle of the day. Also, looks like he's not lactose intolerant anymore, as he's taking real milk at school, and we have him on half formula and milk at home. Still craves the bottle in the morning and at night, but gets a sippy cup at daycare. Hope they see him when he's crazy happy, because it's pretty awesome. Although when he gets frustrated, watch out. He's still pretty clingy on me. But hopefully that'll ease up a little. Maybe next time my parents take Lucy for the weekend they can take Jackson too. Estimated completion on the house is now July/August timeframe. But that's ok, cause finally got our taxes done and we're getting a big refund supposedly. Got Jackson back to sleeping in the crib, which is good. I've got an extra couple of hours now at night. However, Lucy's sleeping in the living room, so can't use my computer, but that means Tracy and I get to sleep in the same bed. Got an Apple Watch try on appointment for this evening on my way home. Figured why not. Even if I won't be able to get one for a while. Also want to check out the new MacBook (Retina 12-inch, Early 2015), which I also won't be able to get, if at all, for a while. Starting to swing back to wanting/using a laptop again at home. Realizing add on keyboards for tablets don't cut it, especially when I keep using 8" Windows tables and the iPad mini. That new Surface 3 looks intriguing though, instead of the Dell Venue Pro 8 or ThinkPad 8 I use now. Again, all stuff I can't buy for a while.
