Back to normal

11,801 steps

It was fun to see the kids this morning and give lots of hugs and back scratches. I'm tired, though! We got to be around 1:30 am and had our normal 7 am wakeup.

Nothing really of note for today, other than we had our routine boiler maintenance to get ready for the winter. I'm still working my way through my inbox after nearly a week being away.

I'm dyeing a pair of purple shoes black--I hope it works. I wasn't entirely sure what everything was made of, so I did a first run with an acid dye. Not much changed, so the next run will be with a natural fiber dye (Dharma Procion-MX). I might also add a pigment dye for the straps and other parts that are obviously not natural materials.
