Thursday

Today was very long and I'm not feeling well at all. I'm tired and achy and pretty cranky - hmmm, that just rhymed... We had our bi-annual meeting with our main advisory group at work. It was a great meeting, just a lot of time needing to be "on." I have a difficult time spending that many hours in a situation where I need to lead discussions or be social. I much prefer the quiet times in my office with only me to talk to. Those conversations are a lot easier.

I am 3/4ths the way through the new Diane Mott Davidson book & it is really good. I'm thinking that spending the rest of the night curled up on the couch finishing the book sounds like the best idea ever. Unfortunately, Caleb is also extremely cranky & is currently banned to his room until he can come out and talk to me respectfully. He needs to finish his homework for the night, but is being pretty pissy about the whole thing. Kind of odd since this is probably his last night of homework for the year. They spend the rest of next week studying for semester tests.

Positives for today

1. right now it is absolutely quiet
2. some of lilacs bloomed & it smells incredible
3. bedtime is very close
