Our trip to Juneau was a fantastic last hurrah, and Matt and I came back to Washington energized to conquer the beautiful summer here. And Matt's bestie left his kiddo with the grandparents in Juneau for another week, so they are acting like maniacs trying to get in all the energetic, difficult to coordinate with daycare activities they can this week. And a friend of ours was snowed out of her post-defense hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (Canada to Mexico), so she has been staying with us, and enjoying not being in grad school from the suburbs instead of the middle of nowhere. She'll be with us until the NEXT wedding next week (OMG Wade and Jessi!!). AND I've got some good contract work right now.
I mention all this, because my life has suddenly become really acceptable. Basically, I get up to work all day, and when I wander downstairs for more coffee or apples, my friend is there to give me a weather update on the trail or remind me what normal people learned in health class. (The next contract is to design some new Health modules for high schoolers.) And then when I am done working, or just feel like I've made enough money, we go do something fun like run around downtown, or see Shaoshu demonstrate his latest Latin Dance performance (it was AMAZING!). I know things are a little different now since we've got a guest, and summer seems like a big time for curriculum development. But if this where what my life turns into for a while, I think I could be ok with that.
