Back to normal
More or less. As AR noted, I am back on my bicycle, at least a couple days a week. I didn't miss riding as much as I thought I would. I thought driving instead of biking would send me down that deep hole where I can only see the sky, but it turns out I've been too tired to be depressed. Who knew exhaustion came with a perk!I'm still tired, so biking is a bit of a chore, but a joyful one. Meanwhile, AR and I keep gazing wistfully into the future - she to a time when The Girl can sit in a high chair and eat avocado, and I to a time when the kids are grown and the dogs are dead.
I'm sorry, did I just say that? I think that's the less perky side of exhaustion coming through. I know I should be cherishing this time; these days will be gone in a blink, and I am told I will miss them. I'll just be happy if I can remember them.

Y'all are starting to sound like Jean Kerr in "Please Don't Eat the Daisies."
When we hear that The Boy has broken the Bendix again, and just as you were getting ready to drive out to Larchmont, we'll know what's happened.
P.S. Sorry I missed your birthday, JB! I am bad.
Happy belated birthday Judybat! I wish I could buy you a day at a spa in Santorini, where you can dive off a rocky cliff and into warm sea water.
Oh my god - That's exactly what I want for my birthday! (And here I thought I wanted to spend the day in Tibet.)
I want to go to Tibet!
Happy birthday. I hope you got to do something nice.
Hey! Happy belated, for real!!!
Coincidentally:
Last night I dreamed that you had recruited me to be the new head of operations for your newspaper -- a 5,000-issue daily printed out of a really cool old mansion in a beautiful small town. I couldn't quite figure out how a 5,000-issue daily could support as many staffers as you had working there, but I didn't feel the need to ask questions about that. Everyone seemed pretty happy. The only thing I was wondering about was, "what? a JOB? I don't want a JOB, do I?!"
