Spent several hours helping my father and my brother-in-law clean the gutters and leaves in the backyard, while the dogs ran around. (Well, Chloe, my sister’s dog, ran around, but she did enough of it for anyone.) My sister’s husband, Brian, is tall and less nervous than I am climbing up on the roof — it’s less the height than the incline, I think — so it’s good that he was here. Not that it’s really been cold, but it has been at least a few months since we had any call to switch the AC on.
Anyway, that took up a big piece of the afternoon, and this evening we all went out for Chinese. Then I tried to finish watching Prince of Persia: Sands if Time, which I started watching yesterday…but then the internet (and the streaming video) went out. Maybe the universe was trying to tell me something? (It’s not a great movie so far.)
