Sept. 15: It’s been a really nice week. With Bryan and myself having the full week off and Andrew in daycare at Karen’s, the days were quiet and full of whatever we wanted to do. Sitting here now on the weekend, I’m feeling really glad that I was able to take this whole week to recuperate. I’m also a little shocked at how little I’ve gotten done. I pretty much divorced myself from computer this week, so not only did I not reply to the hundreds of loving notes I received throughout the month, but I am now behind on another 40 or so. Oh well!
I did get some productive things done. I paid Mom’s bills, did some clean-up of material from the funeral events, and at least now have a rather complete list of the thank-you notes that need to be written. I’m so grateful to so many people. In retrospect, this past week would have been an ideal time to write a lot of those thank you notes. It was, however, more fun and more restorative to be a slug:)
With life moving at a slightly slower pace, Andrew was in a much better mood this week. We had some lovely evenings together. Pictures from the last week including a nice apple-picking trip we took last weekend are in the gallery.
