This is a very full week!
Yesterday: grading, the immensely fulfilling work of beginning my biannual office cleaning, student meetings, then picking the kids up early for the office Christmas party (overwhelming for me as they run from table to table getting more chocolate and candy and cookies and ice cream--their dinner last night was a couple of crackers). (I'm really working harder than I can describe to figure out how to be calm again. It's frustrating to have my body go on guard when there's really nothing to worry about!)
Francisco and I had a babysitter scheduled due to a different moved Christmas party, so we went for a walk and then to The Return, Ralph Fiennes' PTSD version of The Odyssey. He's good and we totally enjoyed it. A very nice evening. Except that the movie theater that previously had the cold problem still had the cold problem and this time didn't warn us nor offer us a discount, so now I'm grumpy. I wore my coat and mittens the entire time! No more movies till the summer, I guess?
The boys were thrilled to work on their Morse code skills with the babysitter. I guess we have little nerdy children?
