I've been cajoling Franny through an Emergency Planning poster assignment all day and my brain is zapped, but luckily DH has taken the kids to the local pool for one last jump off the spring board before the pools close. And a bit of needed quiet for me. I love being a mother, but I desperately need to be a little less needed.

How do you make the broth, Steph?

There are gluten-free, vegan bouillon cubes that make "chicken" broth that, for real, taste JUST LIKE chicken broth. I have no idea how they do it, though I suspect dark magics were involved.

A dove is sitting on my rail, staring at me. Honestly, a little creepily.
Swam at Druid. Predictably a little more chaotic because Labor Day + last day of the season, but I really REALLY zoned out.which I needed, I'm sorta in the midst of a whelmed-down-on-myself funk. It'll pass, I just need to break out of my paralysis on a number of stuck things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That reminds me, I emailed a counseling place in between my work and home, which seems like a good compromise, location-wise, but I'm vaguely afraid my boss goes there! At least, she has a weekly appointment in that direction. Which is a commercial district, so it literally could be any place else.

Home again home again. That wasn't too bad, worked less than 7 hours and got a free lunch. Testing mostly went well, too.
Got home and the gate to my backyard was open, so I panicked about how far Walter may have gotten. I don't know what to do about that gate, I don't understand why the angle at which the doors come together has changed, it's the opposite of what I am used to from aging doors, but I eventually got it closed and when I came inside Walter was in the living room rather than roaming the streets, hooray!
So do not want to do anything but watch TV now.

He's a good boy. Also getting old and sleeps much of the day. Which I encourage.

Good boy, Walter.
I need to find a counselor, Jesse. Good advice.

So, I feel some of you will appreciate this: had a lunch date. We drank a carafe of mimosas which seemed to have almost no OJ in them. And then decided we should go to the spa. So spent the next two hours naked in a hot tub/sauna. Like you do.
Like you do, of course. Must have been a good date if you were inclined to be naked with her, even in a non-sexy times way. And bonus, no surprises on the "money" date ;)
I did a bit of straightening up in the living room and kitchen just in case I have company over today
Company or company ?
