It's dark enough this morning that I have to turn on the lights in order to read. The Little One got up and ran around lowering all the windows because as she says, "It's free-jeezing in here!" This Spring is evolving very much into a reprise of last year: cold, rainy, dark. I think the weather was warmer in mid-April when I was home on leave.

I go back to work today. When I left on Thursday in the middle of the day with a  stomach ache, I never thought it would be Tuesday before I went back!  I seem to be on the right track now that the doctor switched my antibiotic. I hope so since tomorrow I have a hearing at the DMV at 8:30 with a client.

The college kids are settling into their groove of being up all night and sleeping all day. Yesterday The Princess and I butted heads because she felt that being asked to get out of bed at 1:30 was unfair and unjust. Mystery Man has been helpful and is into all his usual summer stuff like being in a band and going to the batting cages. We hope that he'll be motivated to unpack the back half of his car sometime soon.

The Little One went to Great Adventures/Six Flags yesterday on a class trip. She has anticipated this trip for months and has been online memorizing the layout of the park so she can ride the most roller coasters. To keep it educational, they have a 40-page packet about physics to complete while there. We spent a lot of time Sunday discussing gravitational forces and researching physics and roller coasters on the Internet. She had a great time, but the ride she most wanted to go on, Kingda Ka, was closed until they got on the bus to leave because it was raining. She was disappointed but admitted that at that point she was exhausted and her stomach in knots from riding seven roller coasters.

Enjoy the photo of Rock Harbor on Cape Cod. Hopefully, warmer days are coming!
