The Wizard Mom

In the neverender of unpackingness, Geoff cannot find his dress shoes. I'm was sure they were in the basement. Doug and I had to pack up the things in his area that the movers left behind because 

a) his instructions for what he wanted moved were not at all clear 
and
b) we shoved all his shit in boxes and they're all unlabeled

They're in the basement, but he could not find them. 

My plan for life was to get down there and start to really get that big basement room organized. Books I want - upstairs. Things into the big storage room - moved. Unpack some of the shittier boxes and use the plastic totes, for better packing and organization... 

That was on the list for this weekend and it started today, just so I could help the boy find his dress shoes. And literally, I went downstairs, moved a few things, and found the bag they were in. 

Mom, to the rescue. 

Whenever I put my hands right on something, or fix an unfixable thing, ever since he was little Geoff has said "what are you, a wizard?" And I guess, yes. Yes I am a wizard. Or I just have the executive function/problem solving brain one needs to walk into a disorganized situation and pinpoint the solution. 

He's super excited about this job opportunity. I'm super excited for him. 

Doug has a horrible cold. I'm hoping it doesn't derail his weekend with his mom. He got angry that we had 90 boxes of benadryl and zero boxes of Claritin D. So he went to the market to pick some up while I cooked dinner. 

I didn't get an outdoor walk today, but the Shoe Hunt measured 20 minutes of movement and my fitbit said so. And then while Doug was at the store, I walked around to get steps since I wasn't going to fail at 10k. 

The only other news is I fought with the Maryland Motor vehicles website and managed after 40 minutes to get an appointment to do my drivers license renewal. I'm taking Thursday afternoon off to accomplish this. 

Guess that's it. Oh, I stole this picture from my sister. The northern lights are looking good up in New England tonight. Nothing here - too cloudy.
