Something I thought about:

• This week has been absurdly packed, but I’ve also been thinking about how lucky we are to have landed where we did — good people in our community, the child’s activities, at the school, at work. It’s been a week of intense extroversion, which is exhausting for me, but I like everyone I’ve interacted with, which makes a huge difference, as well. Tired but grateful.

Something I did:

• Saw snapping turtles!
• Saw many hummingbirds.
• Donated several bags of clothing — spring cleaning time.
• The usual meetings, prep, organization, PMing, etc.
• SomWent to a poetry reading. Hung out with poets.
• Juggled many many different end of year things.
• Went to Art Day at the child’s school, which was lovely.
• Went to the child’s final soccer game of the season.
