Big A will be back tomorrow! Even better: He can take the summer off from the residents, so he won't have to travel to Milwaukee again until October. He has this whole upcoming week off, and we're so excited to do all our usual things together.
It was At's Boss Day today, but they were in meetings, so we celebrated by having a pizza delivered to them. I have no idea what At's week looks like. I guess I have a grownup kid!
Things aren't so well in the world, but I've donated and called this week plus studied my Arabic, and made sure I'm paying attention (and drawn attention where necessary). Not sure what else to do at this point.
My project deadline approaches. It's terrifying. But also, it'll be so freeing to be done with this stage of it. And then I'll be able to work on different things. Yay!
Super long convos with mom and fave uncle and aunt this weekend. And a couple of girlfriend hangs planned in the coming days. I'm so lucky in all the people I love and who love me back so well.
Pic: Huck popping up to check on me. She's usually curled up at my feet at this point in the day, but tonight, there was some urgent toy-tugging that needed to happen with Max.

Cute.
I hope Nu is feeling better! M was a bit sick around exam time too (he had pinkeye, can you believe it!). In his case it was burning the candle at both ends.
Ahhhh Huck!!! That face.
I hope Nu feels better and good luck to them on exams. Our school district did away with final exams several years back so North has never taken one. It's not a decision I agree with. I think it's educational to have occasion to review the work of a semester or year and synthesize it all in your mind. I'd rather get rid of all the stupid standardized tests they take instead. But it wasn't up to me.
Good news about Big A being home all summer.
Look at that puppy face!! I want to squeeze him.
Gillian--thanks!
Nicole--Poor M! Stress is a terrible for our bodies.
Steph--I'm so with you on standardized exams. And final exams sound reasonable when you put it like that... if only kids didn't think of them as a make-or-break feature of their semester.
Engie--Huck would love that!
