topazIt's been kind of a stressy few days. The weekend was nice and relaxing, hanging out with just Quinn and my parents and not trying to get anything done. But in between getting ready for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keyne's trip with Morgan, and the trip itself, and the aftermath, we kind of dropped the ball on preparing Morgan for going back to school. I somehow thought school was starting on Wednesday and didn't discover until late Monday night that it was the next morning. He seems to have dealt okay, but wow do I feel like the careless parent.
Plus, with all the mayhem it feels like E and I haven't gotten to spend much time together in the last week, which always makes me feel discombobulated.
Today it was grey and dingy when I woke up. The forecast said "showers" in Bedford and Cambridge, so I figured I'd go ahead with my usual ride to work, but when I got to Arlington it was more like "torrential downpour." Well, at least it was warm rain.
Then in Cambridge I got not one. But two. Flat tires. I changed the first while huddling under the eaves of a drugstore on Somerville Ave. The tire blew out again about a ten-minute walk from the office, so I'm going to have to figure out some time this afternoon what's up with it.
I don't want to jinx myself -- especially since I know this isn't true and I don't want to tempt fate -- but it really seems like things can't go anywhere but up from here today. I have swallowed the live frog of my destiny.
