Ballet day


I always want to write at night, but I am practically comatose by the time the girls are in bed. Why is it they go to bed later (9) and are up earlier (520 today!) when Y is away? Add to that the no nap wonder, and I have a two year old getting by on 8.5 hours of sleep.

Finishing up at work today as I won't be back before we leave on Wednesday. My to do lists are scattered around on almost every surface. I feel strangely numb to all the events - which is good. Focus on here, now. Walking down to the river to see the gosslings, picking lettuce for supper tonight (I planted lettuce spinach and swiss chard practically in the snow in March - I now have a healthy crop and a delectable salad each night, thanks Jim).

I apologize to my readers (yes you, bip and bop). I wanted to have a food blog, especially a forum to experiment with microbes. But life got in the way.

Y is starting to perk up a bit in Berlin - he sounded so wan until he experienced how large the beers are. He had a heffeweissen and seems to be just fine.

But me, what the h***k will I eat over there?

  1. You can always go for the saurerkraut and sausages. Maybe you'll like German beer.

    Nemy looks adorable. Hope she got my e-mail
