Celebrating mom's negative MRI

As for Mommy?

Prior to this week, Isaac and I had only been away from each other for ~30 hours. Now it's been almost five days. I miss them both so much so each day I look forward to the pictures and stories from Josh and then go back to the pictures later during down-time (and sometimes when I really should be doing something else).

Meanwhile, I've been typing away and have now completed two boss-approved chapters for my thesis! Unfortunately, I have two left to go. With my guys away, I've reverted to pre-Isaac days and I eat cereal, salad or smoothies for dinner to avoid cooking meals--and because I'm sweating from the heat and don't want to turn on the oven. Also, I've got greens coming out of my ears because our full-CSA keeps bringing me more fresh veggies--that's several pounds of produce and I'm just one person!

Think of me and give me good writing energy. This is such a different skill and because science writing is so formulaic, I have to get it just right so that it sounds respectable. At least today I got a "terrific" and "nice" in my track changes from Piali. Baby steps...

In heaven.

Meanwhile, Isaac was at home with Aunt Moriah and Munga.

I've been to the zoo and now i'm getting

Isaac on the slide

Years ago, we went to the Pittsburgh zoo and captured Josh, our good
friend Emily Romero and me each on the same slide.

Isaac proclaims "Everest next."
