Personally, I’m enjoying our big family “village” while it lasts.  There are always some people around to help with cooking, the dog, errands, and just being there.  I get to sleep in at home, which I seem to need more lately, and then drive over.  Of course Loucious heartily approves of all the people and attention.

Yesterday was so warm out, we had to keep coming outside to cool off!  (And play frisbee with L, naturally.)  Stacey had volunteered to bake challah again, and it was excellent.  She and S also walked the dog together.  Y shoveled out his room, a major endeavor.

Later I made dinner–panko-crusted baked cod, and lots of recreated leftovers.  We had an almost-full table–Y even joined us, though E was out.  Lots of people to help me clean up!  I was so tired, afterwards I flopped on the sofa with S and doggy, and regressed into silliness with S, while Stacey rolled her eyes and eventually went to bed.  Loucious just slept through it.

Today I slept half the day.  I appear to be sleeping for others who can’t.  It’s a necessary luxury.
