Occasions, Happy and Sad
Work: It's the end of the quarter. This one has been good in some ways and very rough in others.
Friends: Xavid and Sarah got married this past weekend. Was a wonderful occasion, full of love and puzzles (Zan organized an Escape Room outing for the pre-wedding "bachelorx party", and there was a very cool ice-breaker puzzle tied up in the theme and party favors at the reception). Eris had a marvelous time, too. (I asked if she enjoyed the wedding, and her response was a very enthusiastic "princess tea party!")
Family: Julie's grandmother died on Sunday. I'm glad she had the chance to meet some of her great-grandchildren, though I wish her health had allowed her to get more out of it. Julie braved a last-minute trip home with the kid to spend some extra time with family. There's nothing that can make this sort of thing less sad. It's a real reminder that time together is a precious thing in life.
Leisure: This week, my parents are in town, and we'll be heading up to Sandy Island next week. Hopefully will be a good chance for reading and relaxation. I expect Eris will get a lot out of it this year. (She's still too young for the children's program, though. Little Red School House next year!)
Eristic improvements: Singing whole songs from memory, running longer, more imaginative narrative play (favorite subjects: waiting for the bus, buying ice cream, cooking, taking care of babies), more interest in construction/building toys.
