This morning I had to drive over to Lacrosse to get my work card updated. It is just over an hour drive away. Willie would have come with me but he had an appointment with his new dentist. The fall colors were nice and the drive was pleasant.

When I arrived home I still couldn’t get into my work computer. I spent some time helping C with her cross country captain application. It ended up being a family project as Willie helped give ideas and edited too. It was due today by 9pm, but C wanted to hand it over to her coach in person. We had it ready to go in time for practice, after I had to fuss with the printer. It gets a little finicky. I had considered posting her application here, but I’m not sure how she feels about that.

While she was at dance class and Willie was watching the 49ers, I went to an informational meeting for the cross country ski team. C has expressed interest – not necessarily in the racing portion, but in the skiing regularly and being with her friends. It will be good winter exercise.

I got home around half time and the game was going well. We ended up staying up really late as we watched the rest of the game together, which was quite stressful during the second half. Our bedtime here is becoming way later than it ever was back in Alaska.
