This morning, I got up at 5 AM so I could go to a Chamber of Commerce breakfast. I was going to help Middnight on Main, a First Night in Middletown, CT. I set up QR codes, took credit card payments via the Square App on an Android, passed out cards and said hello to some old friends, like Connecticut Comptroller Kevin Lembo and Congressman Joe Courtney. With that, I got into the office later than I usually do on a Monday with a stack of things piled up to address.

Meanwhile, my wife Kim was at home with our nine year old daughter and packing for a business trip. Our daughter Fiona is fighting the early back to school cold. When Kim left for the her trip, Fiona went over to a neighbor’s house and I picked her up after work. We had a light dinner as Fiona watched some TV and played on the computer.

I did a little bit on my computer, visiting a few blogs, less than I normally do, chatting with a relative about making hard cider, participating in social media, and watching my stock move sideways in Empire Avenue.

I did a little more laundry, and a little more cleaning around the house. Now, it is time for Fiona to head off to bed, and I shall follow suit soon afterwards. Tomorrow, Kim will still be on her trip and I’ll be adjusting my depending on the health of Fiona.
