This has been the type of weekend that I am going to need to spend the week recovering from.

Yesterday I went up to Evans, CO to visit a friend. It's about an hour and ten minutes drive. If I wanted to pay tolls, it would go all the way down to an hour and seven minutes. I didn't think it was worth $4 to save three minutes. On the way home, I missed my exit on the freeway and had to improvise. Unfortunately, I didn't make it home before sunset, so we had to go for our afternoon walk in the dark, and somebody wouldn't poop.

Today I was helping a friend make peppermint patties and fudge. We made quite a mess for something that didn't require turning on the oven or stove. The only cooking both these required was melting chocolate, which is much more easily done in the microwave than over a double boiler. However, we ended up with both chocolate and powdered sugar all over the place, over many items that you would never think they could get into. Again, I didn't get home until after dark, which I don't think B. appreciated, but she did poop this evening.

I am almost completely exhausted, and I think I will waste the rest of my evening watching TV.
