picking up the pieces

This morning I rendered the videos for my student's animation site all over again, this time making them mpeg4 files rather than flash videos. They worked for a while but now appear to no longer work. Highly annoying.
This evening we went shopping for books and groceries. William started "The Lightning Thief this morning and read 200 pages of it already (over half) so I wanted to pick him up the sequels. Mostly we went for groceries so when we got home and were putting stuff away, Margaret dislodged something from atop our wonky cabinet that is sitting on top of an old table in the corner of the kitchen. Trying to get the item that had fallen behind it all resulted in the legs of the table collapsing and the whole thing coming to rest on top of a smaller shelf that we tucked beneath the table. To fix it we needed to quickly remove every item from the cabinet (and I don't even want to tell you the number of things we squirrel away in that warren) and screw the whole thing back together. Time for chocolate.
