I am reading a PDF of Purse Lips Square Jaw (that I made quickly yesterday while online) and watching a Norwegian game show based on crossword puzzles and word games. I have had a lot going through my mind, but haven’t been capturing the words. I have finished reading Leaving a Trace and Edison’s Eve. I am starting two other books and trying to prioritize and organize my projects.

Cyborg Daddy and I are both suffering from kid care overload. I can’t wait until she starts to read and becomes more “activity” independent. Next year we may try to enroll her in some kind of Summer camp or Summer day care here. She is missing her friends and her busy New Haven social life of play dates and birthday parties.

We started picking blueberries today. My fingers are stained with blotches of red, purple, and blue. Wild strawberries are everywhere and the property is covered in blueberries. There are also lots of raspberries, but they are far from ripe at the moment.
