I did a lot of self-care this weekend, and today was much better than yesterday. Much more matter-of-fact and clear. I need to remember these days....

I guess time is finally starting to work its magic, and the intensity seems to be fading.

Kids got home, tired and a bit out of sorts (the transition still sends them for a loop sometimes), but we settled and got back into our routine pretty quickly.

Caught up on some grad work, but still struggling to get it all done. I'm not obsessing over it, though. Looking forward to the freedom of summer, and getting projects done in the house and yard that I want.

Leaving all the other nonsense alone until I can talk to IC. Think that may all go by the wayside, as well. Too many other things, better things, to keep my focus on right now.

There are many good friends here--I appreciate you all.
