I figured out how to bend my glasses back right, and all of a sudden I’m really seeing in stereo again! Last fall OLC got hold of my glasses while I was napping and bent them all up; after TLG was born MFH accidentally knelt on them. Plus I think my habit of reading in bed while lying on my side (and occasionally dozing off with them on) has not been all that good for them either. Turns out that the mounts for the nose pad things needed bending back as much as the earpieces did.

We’re definitely in the sixth-week growth spurt: TLG nurses to sleep, when he’s finally really out I set him down to go deal with OLC, and five minutes later he wakes up insisting that he’s hungry. (Whoever decided that six weeks was the right length for a maternity leave was no friend of little babies.)

I started a new project of making a skirt from a round tablecloth, one tiny step at a time because of the growth spurt.

This morning I decided that Pilates are addictive because they loosen you up, then overnight you get into even awkwarder sleeping positions and get more kinks that stiffen in by morning, then you need to do more Pilates to loosen up again. (Speaking of awkward sleeping positions: by the end of her nap yesterday, OLC looked like her spine had dissolved and she was oozing off the mattress onto the floor.)

The other day I figured out our family’s social class: upper lower middle class.

Some of the local creation science fans have discovered that I’m a Ph.D physicist who believes in Jesus and a young Earth, so I’ve been getting tapped to look into a few things, like these guys’ ambitious theory of practically everything. Wish that I had time to try to follow their math through. Anyway, this is definitely exposing all of the gaps in my physics education. There are plenty of areas of physics where a layman could read a book or two and know more than I do. I do have the advantage of knowing more math and more of the fundamentals of physics–helpful when MFH starts inventing new theories of optics and things like that.

I’m working on writing a book or two, and MFH is working on a couple of photo books, children permitting.
