Enh. Stress is my bedfellow right now.
Also, I have to throw together an anthology of the work that I've taught at UCLA last week and this week. AND I should write letters to all my students. Both have to be done by Friday. (I have half the anthology laid out, minus artwork, but I am missing the other half of work. So maybe tomorrow will be a work day!)
Life is really good. There's just a lot of it right now.

Cindy, I know. But without K and the kids then I'm stuck with just my dad and that's a stress of a whole 'nother time! I know K can totally handle it, but it's hard to be the only one with no one for relief. She's been doing it for the past two weeks while I've been teaching and it's exhausting. I think if I fly I have to take Noah too because it's too hard otherwise.
Would Grace benefit more from building the growing routine, or would the change not be too disruptive?
If the kids stay here and K needs a hand, I'm so happy to help.
Sorry I fell off the planet.
It appears that I'll be hauling a huge bag of vegetables with me to the convention hotel tomorrow, because my CSA haul was kind of ridiculous this week and people have expressed interest in food that isn't from the House of Meat (aka Outback, which is in the hotel).
I'm totally going to invite ladies back to my room to feast upon my magnificent tomatoes and enormous cucumbers.
The issue is that my sister and my niece flew from Hawaii to Ohio to drive with my mom.
Ah. Okay. Let me know if the situation changes any. I'd be happy to do it. It isn't as big a deal as peeps are making it sound; it would work fine for me as a business trip. Plus, I've got friends up there I haven't seen in a while. So no big! But awesome for your fam to get time together.
Anyway, don't stress about it too much if possible. It sounds like a lot of lot, but it also sounds like whatever decision you make will be okay.
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT GRACIE EATING. And also your nurse sounds totally awe, so I hope you can keep him.
Also, sorry, Cash. I hate stuff like that.
Ooh, I bought kale and a thornless blackberry plant at the farmers market today. Can someone Nilly me the kale chips recipe?
Then I made loco moco for dinner, so it has been a food win day. (Two scoops rice, two hamburger patties, two eggs, topped with gravy made from, and I quote the Hawaiian recipe, "incorporating the yum yums" from the burgers.) We split it, because it's a ridiculous amount of food, but it came out so great. Even though I didn't have any beef broth and used fish stock instead. Hee. Oh, and the burgers came out amazing and I froze the rest so we can grill those, like, whenever. Nom.
I figured.
I hope you have an awesome time, by the way.
