routine

Today was great. Today was wonderful in that it was perfectly, utterly normal.

We did some chores around the house, stuff we gotta do like laundry, grocery shopping, emptying trash cans, cleaning the guinea pig's cage, etc.

But we also did fun stuff. The stuff that feeds our souls. Photography. Stained glass. Christmas. Board games with Zozo. Soccer practice in the yard.

It was the kind of day I dreamed about during the long days of construction. It was the kind of day we are having with increasing frequency.

Tomorrow starts our school year routine. Zozer has a full day of school followed by aftercare. I have faculty week at work, which kicks off the start of school there. M...well, M's summer schedule doesn't really change, so he'll just be doing the same thing he's been doing.

We had some tea tonight. Well, I had some tea. He had a few sips and then passed out on the couch.

It was a good day. The perfect end to a wonderful weekend.
