Two days till vacaaaaaaation. I have taken stock of the office supplies and made sure we have ordered important things like K-cups (seriously, Anders, you drink too much coffee) and copy paper. I am caught up on filing. I have printed multiple copies of important papers like intake forms and fax sheets, and will leave them easily visible on my desk. I am confident that Aveline and Anders will get along fine without me, but I also know that when I come back, I will get a double dose of "oh thank goodness, nothing is the same without you, where in Anoia's name are the blue pens?" I am loved and needed.

My new glasses are here, and they are shimmery lavender and adorable and I have had very little eyestrain/ache as I adjust to them, which is a joy.

Need to ask the neighbor if she will not mind checking in on our little garden while we're gone. If she doesn't mind doing a little watering if it doesn't rain for a day or two, she can take her own payment in herbs and tomatoes. The tomatoes are starting to come in, including one big one that I hope to slice over black beans tonight, and I would hate for them to go to waste while we were gone. Also, the oregano is thriving, and she is welcome to as much of that as she can machete.

My parents are delightedly scheduling activities--a 4th of July barbecue! A minor-league baseball game! A field trip down the road to the bacon store!--and we have two tubs of books to take to the Giant Used Bookstore. Yeats has made me promise not to run down the aisles shrieking in glee, and I have assured him that I will keep my shrieking to a minimum. Am I still going to decimate the Fantasy/SF aisles? Oh, yes.
