I’m starting to think about MdS as a restful vacation with a bit running thrown in. I’m not underestimating the desert...

Dinner Guests and Tiny Rant 53/365
Eliot invited co-workers over tonight, which is … great. We’re long overdue for having these folks over — or any folks really. But now it is 4pm, 2 and half hours before they arrive, and the house is a wreck, dinner is in its component parts, and I’m typing from bed while the kids jump on the trampoline. And I have [...]
LizaRecovery Day 52/365
Today was a rest day for running, and I ended up taking the whole day as a rest day. Well, Ruby and I went to the DMV first thing in the morning to get a new driver’s license for me. (Oh yeah!)

I have managed to be quite productive so far, but my energy is waning — and the kids won’t be up for another hour — [...]

Ruby is less and less inclined to stay in the baby jogger, but we got the loop done. Asa stayed home to build a Lego safe. The weather couldn’t have been nicer: Sunny [...]

Asa had his first piano recital today. He played some clapping song. (I ran 24 miles today, so I’m not going to get up from the couch to look up the exact title. It’s all I can do to shovel ice cream into my mouth and type.) He also played and sang “God Bless America.” The boy has a beautiful voice. I sound like that [...]
