Old school trim is a lot tougher to screw into than the brand new stuff. Putting up the blinds in the family room was so much easier than putting up the ones in Tracy's office. Like I had to predrill, then switch to a bigger bit, and even then broke 3 screws and stripped another. And broke them by hand, since I switched from the drill after stripping one. Very annoying. Went ahead and ordered a new drill, one of those fancy cordless ones (of course The Wirecutter top pick), so going to wait until tomorrow before putting up the rest. Tracy's been doing a great job decorating lately, lots of framed photos hung up, kids room decorations, toy storage, blinds. Still need to figure out what to do with parlor. Got almost all of my media set up in Plex. Figured out hard linking stuff over. Had to rename the Friends episodes to get metadata to show up properly. But now have 1047 movies, 44 tv shows with I don't know how many episodes. What I tried yesterday was the shuffle on Movies. Nice feature when I just don't want to pick something. Somehow ended up on Blade Runner, figure it's time to finally watch that. Also decided to go through the entire Friends run too. Then maybe Two Guys and a Girl. Then Chuck or Alias. So many choices now. Oh, potty training is going ok. Jackson seems to do ok when he's running around bottomless. Not so much with underwear and pants. On top of that, he's started at Prairieland Montessori today. I went with during drop off, and have to pick him up today. Seems nice. Quiet. I've forgotten how independent Montessori kids are.
