Em has been here for a couple of weeks, and G's brother and his gf have been staying with us for the last few days. When I'm not in the office, I have taken to doing my work in small 10-minute segments between activities and thus don't feel like I'm on top of anything, ever, and thus feel like I'm about to lose all of my jobs.
Plus, last night we had a few friends over. It was so fun. It was so...social. So social, says the introvert.
Between organizing meals and activities and texts and work and emails and deadlines and Africa prep and more meals and activities, I, well, I die a little.
Social death is the theme. Internal death is the theme.
But we're seeing a lot of people! Life is messy and chaotic and fun and flavorful and...really full in a way that it hasn't been in I don't know how long. In the wake of losing Lucy, this has been good for us.
So I guess internal life is a theme, too.
G took his bro and gf to Pike's Peak yesterday. A storm rolled in while they were on the peak, and they had to shelter down until it passed.
If you're wondering how Roo is adjusting, take a look. She's clearly at home and is ruling the roost (<<< the ROOst, get it?). Unlike Loo Loo Bean, Roo hops all over the house and much prefers the dining room to the hearth. She spends most of her time laying on the cool wood floor or exploring under the table. It's all very fun and exciting.
There was a delightful sushi dinner the other night with peeps. Nat King Cole recommended the white rolls below and dang. I'm sold. They are called Crispy Bincho and are filled with crab meat, asparagus, avocado, and I can't remember what else. They are to die for. I never need to visit Japan again; I can just go to Sushi Den.
Roo Roo fits in very well to our newly-extroverted lifestyle. She's all up in everyone's business. All the time.
Well, time for the next 10 minutes of work and then we're going to RMNP for some American safari. Tomorrow is a long work day for me, so I'll get to, you know, relax a little. :)
