OK, I've signed up for Science and Cooking. Presumably it will become clear how to audit the course at some point..
That trip definitely sounds like a win, aurelia!
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
By which I mean to say that my connundrum is: "Julie, what di you do today?"
I either did 1) did projects 1, 2, and 3, and spent the rest of my day cleaning up after them.
Or I did 2) did projects 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and cleaned up after some of them.
I need to convince my brain that the cleaning-up-after is actually a productive part of my day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, I just got a wedding invitation in the mail for some family friends, and they are the kind of couple where you are super duper happy for each of them that they found each other. So that's nice! Although my train of thought at the mailbox was kind of funny... Seeing the envelope: "I don't know anyone getting married, do I?" Turning it over: "Who do I know in Cambridge?" (besides like everyone, but I didn't recognize the address) Opening it: "AWWW!"

ION, if I didn't make popsicles sweet enough, can I just melt them down and try again?

I think this is my favorite part of their FAQ:
Is running with the bulls dangerous?
Of course! Much like rock climbing, mountain biking, skydiving and other extreme sports, running with live bulls is an inherently dangerous activity (which is why it’s so thrilling). By participating in the run, you accept the risk that you might be trampled, gored, rammed or tossed in the air by a bull, or bumped, jostled, tripped or trampled by your fellow runners. We do what we can to minimize those risks by using less-aggressive bulls than those used in Spain and allowing runners to hide in nooks and climb over the track fence if necessary, but make no mistake: you could get seriously injured in this event. That’s why there’s a mandatory insurance fee during the registration process and medical staff on site.

Yup. I've done it, it's fine.
Eta: unless you've got different layers you want to keep separate. That would be tricky. But I assume you would have mentioned it if that was an issue.

No layers! Thanks.
