It's Monday...

and I don't "have a case of the Mondays".
I would have preferred if things had worked out just a little bit differently, and allowed me some time at the gym. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

I still haven't heard from the army, or from Athlete's World. Saturday night I sent my resume to a warehouse in Toronto that's looking for a Raymond Reachtruck driver. I did that a few years ago in Calgary, so I have a little bit of hope, but not living near by is a HUGE strike against me.

Logan skipped school for a doctors appointment and we're now waiting for a referral to a specialist. We don't think it's anything serious, and the family doctor agrees, but since Logan is only 4 we want to cover all the bases. Lately we've noticed he's got an unusual twitch. He'll close his eyes and then shake his head a few times. Our family doctor thinks it's just a nervous habit. The only other thing it could possibly be is tourette's syndrome. Since he's not an expert he's not sure, but doesn't think it is.

After that we had a meeting with children's services. No they aren't the people that take kids out of bad homes. This agency helps determine if you qualify for child care subsidies. We meet every six months to insure we continue to qualify so Logan can keep going to daycare. Today went well, and that means we can get rid of Logan 3 days a week for the next six months! Then in September Logan starts junior kindergarten and we don't need to worry about the subsidies.

Mechwarrior: Dark Ages seems like it's going to be a ton of fun once I have enough figures to assembly a decent battle force. I just printed out the instruction manual on Saturday, all 38 pages. Lots to learn. When I'm not reading the manual, I'm busing imaging what to use to great a game board. I need an area tha's about 3' x 3' to play on, and then I need things to use as terrain features. I want to keep things in scale, or as close as possible. The game figures are in 'N' scale, 1:160. The 'Mechs are about 2" tall, so a box for cigarette tubes, when places on end, is about a 12 story building. I found a juice bottle, and I'm not sure if it's 1.5L or 2L, but it's a 15 story building. I want to build a 'Mech factory, so I'm looking for a box that's 52cm x 13cm x 13 cm. I'm planning on covering everything in paper machier. Makes it stronger, keeps it light, and makes it easier to paint. As I was measuring thing and figuring out how big they'd be, Logan was measuring things too.

A four year old with a tape measure is a marvel to behold. All I did was pull it out to 12", and lock it in place. I found out that my feet are 3" long and 99" wide, my hand is 7", and my ear is 22".
Any other measuerments are between my wife and I. LOL!
