#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Chippie in the Charles

Wave slept in after falling asleep to the books I read him last night. Got up and gave me a hug. His mother, a doula, was gone for about 36 hours helping her client deliver a baby at 7 a.m. this morning. I got Chippie to the river after Frank got home from his meeting and I helped him see that he could swim out over his head by throwing some balls for him to retrieve. So so warm; muggy and hot like Costa Rica in February. Wave’s last day of school. My daughter got home in time for this short last day of school which was really a party and I drove since she was too tired and we had a nice time. He says he’s going to miss his pre-school, and of course he is. The rest of the day a whirlwind of activity, dropping him with his father, getting my swim in, meeting with some friends from high school about our 50th reunion and having a session with the dog trainer and playing pickle with Franci and Will (and the dog trainer who stayed on!) and then dinner with Franci and Will wrapping plans for the wedding. All happiness, and also I’m very very tired. A busy week. And no writing today.
