Off the Bone

Work is busy. I've been trying to trade off school pickup weeks with Julie, but often end up covering for one thing or another. Multiple last-minute schedule changes per week. Startup life.

Erica's reading skills are really coming along.

This week was exhausting, but I had a little time to recover this afternoon, at home alone doing laundry and cooking (an osso buco beef and beans). We went out for brunch earlier in the day. Yesterday, I went to the farmers market, and we all went to a bit of the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, which is fun. Long time since I last went. Erica was very excited as she is about all things books and art.

Last weekend, had an evening out at the science museum Friday and pizza dinner with one of Erica's school friends (almost a disaster since I hadn't realized that although the museum is open late Fridays, the cafeteria is not, but we got things sorted somehow). I took Erica to the zoo on Saturday, and we went to the Boston Public Library on Sunday.

All in all things are going all right, though still feeling a little stressed about *gestures broadly*.
