- The kids finished their first week of school. I got up every morning at 6:00 a.m. to make sure they were out of bed and getting ready without getting in each other’s way. I’m proud of how well they managed it. I feel comfortable leaving them on their own in the mornings from now on. And thank goodness, because I am already exhausted. Me and morning just don’t mix!
- My husband saw a bobcat in our yard!
- I finally finished the composition piece I’d been working on forever. Now my teacher suggests I write a passacaglia. Hmm. I’ll think about it.
- My husband has arranged for Livia to have fencing lessons, at her request. She hasn’t fenced in years, not since Covid. Previously she studied foil but will now be learning epee. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly she can catch up.
- I think I may have fallen behind at work, but I can’t seem to care. I’ve lost all my joy in the job.
- I gave in and bought the NYT subscription. Well played, NYT. Well played.
- The Powerball jackpot has been over a billion dollars for the last few drawings. It’s fun to dream about becoming a billionaire overnight, and I think it’s worth a few bucks to entertain that dream. Too bad every one of our tickets so far has contained not a single winning number.
Random Quote
I’ve had so many hot, cheesy, corny loves of music in my life. I had a very intense Billy Joel period. So once you’ve really Joeled it up — there’s some good periods of Joel; it’s not all hot cheese. But I can’t judge anyone else for their cheese. I’ve deep-sea dived in the Gouda.
