New year, new stuff

• Winter break ends today, as D’s school resumes tomorrow. I met several of the goals I’d set for myself, and did quite well on some of the others. No kitten-proofing of bedrooms or moralization paper revision, though.
  
• D’s now growing at a rate that we can’t keep up, pants-wise, so today I bought him some black socks to help disguise it when he’s all “high-water.” I had to sew on little blue markers with embroidery floss to tell them apart from J’s socks in the laundry.
  
• I’m wondering if my a.m. orange juice is responsible for my digestion going wonky every day after I’ve been up a couple of hours. I like orange juice, and it’s my best source of calcium (at least the Minute Maid type is; the others don’t really agree with me), and drinking it with breakfast and dinner is important towards keeping me hydrated, but I guess I should do the experiment of going without for a while.
  
• And on the topic of going without, the Hallmark channel moved its nightly Perry Mason episodes out of the midnight to 2 a.m. slot. No way can I watch Perry 2-4 a.m. I guess there’s always the DVR.
