Weekend Update

 What got done:

• Youth orchestra concert! They were amazing. The program was really fun: they played pieces by Bernstein, Brahms, and Berlioz. There are a lot of graduating seniors (like, a third of the orchestra) - these kids are so impressive, fitting a so many activities (music! sport! studying! hobbies!) into their lives.
• Lots of cooking: dinners, breakfasts, rhubarb and strawberry pies.
• Food shopping (husband did that)
• Minor clean-up around the house (vacuuming and dusting, plus one of my kids volunteered to mop the floors).
• Lots of dishes... because dishwasher is still not operational.

What was nice:

• Spending time with the family.
• Reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (I really liked it and spent a good chunk of Saturday either in the hammock or on the sofa, reading the book. This book was recommended to me by E.
• Reading What Is Real by Adam Becker - non-fiction that had some nice overlap with Dark Matter! Particle physics is insanely cool!
• H did a ton of dishes by hand on Mother's day (grumpily, but still -she did them. C and I dried and put stuff away.)
• Watching White Collar with the kids.
• A walk around the neighborhood with my husband.

Things that didn't get done or weren't so nice:

• Dishwasher is still broken.
• I didn't get enough sleep.
• One of my doctors wants me to get a chest x-ray - because of some odd stuff they saw last fall (they say cancer is very unlikely but they still want me to get the imaging done to rule it out).
• Garden is a mess - and rabbits have invaded. Possibly a groundhog, too.
• Kitchen remodeling - would be nice if we could get that going soon, but.... life.
