Now that Mom, Dad, Adam, and I are all away from work, the vacation mentality is finally sinking in. One stays up late, so the others end up doing it too, and we all wake up late the next morning and take a leisurely breakfast that delays any thought one might have of productivity.
While I’m here I’m trying to clean out anything in my bedroom that I might have left behind, because my parents will be bringing my furniture out to Ithaca later this summer. It’s kind of fun to rummage through drawers that I’ve looked through a thousand times, reading papers and remembering events. For those of you who know me well, there’s no reason to worry: Mom’s standing guard over me to make sure I don’t just throw everything away, neat-freak that I am. Between Mom and Sydney, I always have a memory-preserver around to keep me honest 🙂
I made home-made pizza for my family last night, which seemed to go over well. This afternoon my dad and I rode out on the bike trail near our house, through beautiful trees, over bridges, and out in the sun. Absolutely gorgeous day. Also ran some errands and picked up a pair of nearly-flat sandals. Ithaca is having an effect on my heel height, that’s for sure.
