we rarely need an excuse for an escape, although i'd say the last little bit has lead us to a hankering for all things french. a tartine at café sesame. a cheese plate at fromagerie 31. a glass of wine outside in st. germain. a late night romp through the palais de tokyo, or dancing on the batofar. or maybe a midnight movie at mk2.
i think that's a good sign - moving forward, thinking ahead - shopping, walking, bike riding, and general merriment (not the eliot spitzer kind, of course!). at least we know we're vulnerable, not like the governor! oh, when will they ever learn?
alas, no paris today, just back in the saddle (jared does remark after school that he feels as if he's been on holiday - he must have had some weekend, 'cuz i NEED a holiday!). jane is totally zombied from lack of sleep, although frankly this last round of chemo has not been nearly as bad as number 3. she's definitely a bit worn around the edges, but altogether whole and fine - last time it was as if she had been slammed against a wall. i'm sure that the psychological boost of completing this course is also physically uplifting. tomorrow we'll do a bit of shopping at lunchtime, maybe get some spring frocks to go with that mood.
jane is invited to join a trip to israel (ruth, you're the best!), but can't actually go as her surgery is scheduled for that time in early april ... too bad, i would have loved for her to go! we drop by a dear and hysterical friend late afternoon who just had a similar procedure to jane (yes, another), who's doing amazing! so happy to see!
kids have been good of late! outside playing ball, reading, i-chatting, and not completely and utterly hyper like normal. very sweet actually, nice to be in a good groove and not shrieking at the top of my lungs like usual.
so that's it for today - dinner's done, laundry's folded, lunches packed, work tied up - and chaos slowly but surely drawing to a close!
