As it took me longer to get home than I had planned today, I considered not keeping the sledding appointment that I made for myself. With that temptation to bow out in mind, I'm glad that I wrote about my sledding appointment earlier so that I had more of a reason to keep it today. In fact, I even took some pictorial and video evidence of some of the experience. Note that my comment of having to wade waste deep in snow was not much of an exaggeration. I certainly got a workout.
Janelle had ordered a complete surprise for me that arrived in the mail today. It is quite close to one of my long-ago stated desires: the wallet holster. Technically, it's called a "men's motorcycle waist pack thigh drop leg bag" and is a bit bigger and more decorative than I envisioned, but it seems to work. I plan on trying it out for a longer duration throughout the school day tomorrow and this weekend's DDF tournament.
Speaking of which, I picked up some travel treats (a wide jar of low-salt peanuts, a bag of gummy worms, and a box of snack-sized packages of Pringles) and packed up my bag for tomorrow. Janelle is never happy when we swap vehicles, but hers is the best-suited for taking multiple people on an hour and a half road trip. Aside from disappointing her, I'm starting to feel really positive about this trip.
Finally, we were once again frustrated in our attempt to watch a show on Disney+. That streaming service has been rather touchy ever since we switched our Internet provider over to StarLink. StarLink was even up the whole time with a few interruptions of less than a second, but that seems to be enough for Disney+ to stop the video while allowing the audio to continue. I would prefer if it just paused entirely while it buffers. Weirdly, it's worked just fine from time to time. Unfortunately, this means that we have not been able to watch the final episode of Willow; however, as Netflix has given us no such trouble, we decided to watch an older season of the Great British Bake-Off and were quite happy with it (It's the season with Liam--who is now a host for the Junior British Bake-Off).
