I’ve spent most of this past week cleaning up my office and moving many things up and into the attic. I have to get the room down to a few items so that I can paint the room for Andy. He’s going to have the office as his bedroom soon. The office is bigger than his current bedroom which was good for a baby but too small for a growing boy. We’ve been trying to decide upon colors for the rooms. I simply want something that is neutral because of the filming that I’ll be doing. I don’t want the colors of the walls to influence the colors on the videos. The swatch that I have on my wall has the official color for the New England Patriots. I may even go with that color because the room is smaller and darker so whatever I paint in that room will be darker. So, I will probably go with the pewter.

Andy has a few paint swatches in his room. He’s leaning towards a red but we also have a blue option. Once he picks the color I’ll finish cleaning the office and then paint it. Then the real work begins, getting Andy’s room packed up to move across the hall.

Allison came home from school yesterday and brought me outside. “Look at this,” she told me as she showed me the corner post of our fence. She suspected that someone backed into it but it wasn’t that. The fence is old, it has been under stress for a long time because of the Wisteria that grows every year. some of it has grown right through the fence and bowed it out and choked it. so much stress was put on the fence where parts leaned this way and that and where it could not simply bend or lean it completely snapped.

It is sort of fitting for the state of the world right now. Schools are closed for the next two weeks. The kids are anxious. Stores are being cleared out of everything. We joke about it when the snow comes but when something major like this comes along it is insane. I’ve been in a few stores and I’ve seen completely empty aisles. Things that we have been taking for granted are not going to be there. So we are all under stress.

Will we break or will we bend.
