I have a couple topics\u00a0that I intended to write about this yesterday and today, but didn\u2019t get past the \u201csoccer pay equity\u201d post that I had drafted on Friday. \u00a0Instead, I\u2019ll just tell you about my weekend.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning started was the District-level Pinewood Derby, which my husband attended with my youngest son. \u00a0Here\u2019s what they returned home with:<\/p>\n

\"trophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s the \u201cdesign,\u201d not the speed trophy.<\/p>\n

After that, well, I had planned to go outside and get some exercise, but I hadn\u2019t paid much attention to the weather forecast: \u00a0for most of the morning and afternoon, off and on: \u00a0snow, with a miserable swirling wind that meant that, when I left Aldi, it felt like the wind was pushing me back into the store from the parking lot as I made my way to the car.<\/p>\n

\"snowfall\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plus, graupel.<\/p>\n

\"From<\/a>
From wikimedia commons: https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File%3AGraupel%2C_Westwood%2C_MA_2010-02-02.jpg; By Parkerjh (Own work) [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>Which I\u2019d always thought was just some unusual form of hail, though my husband said, \u201cwell, in German, that\u2019s graupel<\/em>,\u201d and I looked it up and found out that the English term is actually a loanword from the German<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So we stayed inside, the kids entertaining themselves with a mix of a TV movie, reading, and playing Nerf guns, while I worked on my puzzle:<\/p>\n

\"unfinished<\/a><\/p>\n

(yes, it\u2019s upside-down in this picture; I didn\u2019t pay attention to that). \u00a0And I have to say that, while I\u2019m not usually a big puzzle-doer, I got quite absorbed in it. \u00a0Yes, any big fan will notice that it\u2019s a relatively easy one \u2014 the areas lent themselves to sorting by general color, and there was very little of the single-color, pure guesswork, sections. \u00a0And I felt very lazy working on this when I should have been getting other things done, but finished it off later that night:<\/p>\n

\"finished<\/a><\/p>\n

Afterwards, we finished the day with a game of euchre with the kids.<\/p>\n

And \u2014 here\u2019s a nice little tidbit: \u00a0my 7th grader\u00a0and his friends have gotten very interested in card games, during lunch at school, in the evenings at Boy Scout outings, whenever they have empty time and no other immediately available entertainment. \u00a0They range from Cheat\/B.S., Go Fish, Egyptian Ratscrew (which I doubted was a real game \u2019til I looked it up online), to more adult games like Hearts and Euchre. \u00a0So that\u2019s nice to see.<\/p>\n

Today the weather was dramatically warmer than yesterday, and my husband spent the afternoon working on the treehouse:<\/p>\n

\"Treehouse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"saw\"<\/a><\/p>\n

while I relaxed with a book, took a walk around the neighborhood, ran an errand, and did some laundry. \u00a0Up next is finishing up a couple things for work, and finishing my book.<\/p>\n

How was your weekend?<\/p>\n
