Not dead. Very busy.

Stinky started Kindergarden on Monday. He looks older. I surprised myself by crying. And now homework enters our lives again.

I'm mourning loss of sewing room. It's become a kid's room. The frontroom looks like my sewing room barfed all over it. Which it pretty much did. Walk lightly or you may knock something over.

I'm mourning retirement of the best boss in the whole world and only career mentor I've ever had. Super-bummed about it. sigh. I may need to get drunk and cry this weekend.
