Fondant's Not Real
This week has been pretty crazy.
Halloween was on Monday, so there was lots of Halloween stuff all weekend. Julie took Erica to a Day of the Dead event at the Peabody Museum on Saturday. Somerville's last street festival of the year was on Sunday, and we went to a Halloween event at the Waterworks Museum near Chestnut Hill Reservoir Sunday morning.
This week at work I've been busy dealing with an important production issue. Unfortunately one that I caused. Trying to deal with technical debt is perilous in that you're extremely likely to get last-minute bit by the pitfalls you're trying to eliminate. So I've been very focused. It is, as always, a good opportunity to learn.
I've also been focused on the home side of things. Julie had a conference in Toronto on Wednesday. Was going to be a day-trip, but the outbound morning flight was cancelled, so she left early, on Thursday evening. Then the return flight was canceled, so she couldn't get home until late tonight.
I still managed to keep up with chores and cooking and fun with Erica. Mostly we had dinners at home, but we had dinner out at Saus tonight (vegetarian fast-food and fries), and Erica was awed by the Impossible nuggets. We're watching a bit of "Is It Cake?" on Netflix, it's fun.
Character Parade at Erica's school is tomorrow, she's dressing up as Chester the cat from Bunnicula.
There's other stuff I want to write about and I keep not making time to write.
