Another week off from school. Yes. Beef Burgundy ala Julia Child for dinner tonight. Yum. Life and deep thinking sort of on hold for a few days. Absolutely. Bills paid. Thankful.
Daughter worn out from heavy schedule at work because of Christmas. She's really considering an extended leave of absence from work for a bit. She's so exhausted. Her break-up from her boyfriend a few months ago is still hurting, and she's buried herself in work. Time to just take time. Needs some mothering. And she's not missing him, but smarting from his treatment of her. Wounded.
Thinking that after we get Mom all settled tomorrow with groceries and all, I'll focus on some early spring cleaning. We have this roach problem in the kitchen---some new breed that the boys seem to have brought home from the restaurant. Not a huge issue, but in this old house, an issue nonetheless. Having a crawlspace underneath the house contributes to the situation.
Looking forward to some breathing space. Not sure exactly what that means, but I'm willing to make an attempt. Two kids off work this week (and around which is nice for a change), and the ability to play, read and sleep in without feeling guilty. I'm in.
