A Few Hours at Home

I only had a few hours at home before we would leave on our road trip. But I had plenty to do to occupy the time. First, I had to deal with the mail that had collected in our absence. Luckily, we've had someone bringing the mail in for us and sorting it a bit. If you look closely at this picture, you'll also see that Court had stopped by the house and set up the Easter Egg Hunt for the next morning.

Next, I decided that I would deal with the slight disaster left from the last minute installation of bookshelves in our bedroom. I moved the books onto the shelves and emptied our old night stands into the new drawers. I can't say that anything is particularly organized, but at least it isn't on the floor.

Finally, my big project before leaving on our road trip was putting together Kai's travel journal. I took a short video of it.

I had also made a version for Court, as a surprise for her:

I had ordered dinner in, thinking that waiting for my food would help me stay awake. I eventually ate dinner and worked my way through the DVR, clearing a few shows. I laid out my clothes for our road trip and started putting together the things that I will take back to Abu Dhabi. Unfortunately, somewhere in there, I got a second wind and had trouble going to bed. I finally got to bed sometime after midnight.
