ok, so mm has survived.....the wedding for 500 or so, the baptismal luncheon with mimi, pappy and pappy's new wife.......andrew's leaving for school........after a 3 hour nap, i started making lists for everything coming up this week........and i got myself a glass of wine.........eku starts tuesday...my class is earlier this semester....3:30 rather than 6:00, which means i am home for supper or available to help with dinner at trc if it is a centre performance night........i have 46 in the class.....a person for every chair.....they actually counted before letting in the last person.........saturday is our annual biking/running event....the pound and pedal........i try every year to keep the plants alive til labor day saturday and this event.....and fail each year.......at least the grass is not dead this year like it was last year.....the good news....i cleaned house for lunch today so i am ahead of schedule.........as i sit at the computer typing, i have a clear view of andrew's empty room...he drove off to his new apartment at uk with his car loaded in such an organized manner.......i was in awe at the transition from freshman to sophomore year in terms of his logistical thinking....he made checklists with his anticipated needs for his bedroom, kitchen, bath, etc....i already miss him........tonight at supper we will be 4, eating chinese leftovers from our carryout lunch............we spent last school year as 4, but this year it will seem a bit sad, having so enjoyed having andrew home for the summer.......stephan will only remain 2 more years.....i cannot imagine his parting..........i will put off thinking about that for another day...........
