Early to bed

Getting to bed early tonight. Already took Melatonin. I've given up hope on CSI now that it's on Sundays. Bummer.

Daughter and I directed traffic for the Air Dance performance today. She didn't want to watch the show. She wanted to read her book, instead.

I was really proud of her this morning. She woke up before me and when I walked in the living room, she was sitting there, TV off, doing her homework. Not a word needed from me. But I did tell her I am proud of her. How many kids do you know like that?

While she was reading, I set what was almost the last of the front porch. Still need just a little bit more. But I smoothed out one section and we set our hand prints in the concrete and I wrote our names and the year. 

On the way home, I got a bag of sand to complete the project. I have a bag of Portland cement. Can mix that with sand, level off the top and put the decorative gravel on top. I still need a couple more bags to set for esthetic reasons but the functional structure will be complete this week. 

I started applying the Mylar to the inside north wall of the solarium today. But the contact cement is too thick. Mineral spirits increased volume but didn't thin it out. Got some naptha on the way home.

Also got 25 ft of flexible vent. Ordered the fan and it should come in this week. 

Went ahead and tried the gluten challenge this evening. Got two Whoppers on the way home this evening. Not feeling anything bad so far. I have learned other things I have to avoid which could have been causing problems, if not gluten. Milk, eggs, peppers. And keep my meals smaller than I used to. Those may make a difference. I'll know by tomorrow.
