stop licking!
Roofer is tentatively scheduled for the week before Thanksgiving. Will be a 3-day thing since they are also removing all the insulation from the attic, cleaning out all the dead mice bodies, sealing up all entry points for the lil critters, and blowing in new insulation. And then putting on a new roof, soffits, fascia, and gutters, as well as replacing all the bathroom and kitchen vents so they actually vent. It's going to be amazing. The color we picked is Desert Rose by Owens-Corning, a warm brown with some yellow undertones, which will look so lovely on top of our yellow brick house.
I got my Yale Alumni Magazine, and immediately flipped to my dad's class notes page so I could find the secretary's contact info. I have been putting off sending an announcement to his class notes; I just wasn't ready to break that last connection between the two of us, I guess. But now that it's coming up on s year, it's time.
Turns out I don't need to send anything in. My dad's name popped out at me as soon as I got to his class page. The class secretary wrote a lovely obit for my dad, talking about him from the perspective that they all knew him. He must have read Dad's official obituary too because he included my mom's passing, my sisters and I by name, and a quote from the obit. It was just really kind of him to do that. I sent him an email thanking him this morning, and of course he wrote back immediately expressing his condolences and thanks. Very kind.
In unrelated news, Molly has some kind of irritation or rash around her, ladyparts. She will NOT stop licking herself. We have an appointment for Monday at the vet, and I finally broke down and bundled her into her jammies so she can't reach it.
Otherwise it's a slow weekend of housework, laundry, groceries, and maybe finishing off GBBO that I fell asleep halfway through last night.
