On the whole
We found out that our tax return - in which 2.0 and his timely arrival have been key players - works out to a substantially higher refund than we originally thought. This means that we should be able to finance our trip to see M.’s family and have some to spare - yay!
So, on the whole, things aren’t too bad.
The only fly in my ointment today is that MM has caught M.’s cold. It’s making her a little miserable, since she almost never gets sick, and now I have to try and keep her away from C. in the probably vain attempt to keep him from getting sick. Wish me luck.

Oooh, I love it when tax returns work out in your favor!
Aw… a sick toddler is NOT FUN. Lots of fluids for MM and lots of nursing for C… sending you ‘healthy’ vibes your way!

Hope you all survived the week with no more people getting sick! Have a great FRUITFUL (i.e. lots of 15 minute ‘breaks’ and lots of healthy vibes!) weekend!
(No, no, don’t worry about responding to this comment - save that for getting stuff done for yourself… just wanted to check in to send you some cheers!)
