Thanks in large part to Geeky Boy who was prepared as part of his punishment to do a few chores with me without payment. I ended up paying him about half of what the work was worth. We completely cleaned the kitchen and most of the dining room. The hamster cages will be cleaned out tonight. He also worked on his room and went with me on various errands.

He’s out now with friends and will be attending a birthday party this evening. I was proud of him, jumping in and helping without complaining, without even much of a break. It’s a beautiful day outside. I’m glad he’s getting to enjoy it.
