My summer is very much in flux right now. Every single person in our family has several things that they might do if this, that, or the other thing falls into place. And then some of the plans are contingent on a first layer of plans locking in. So what I'm saying is that I have a slim grasp on what my summer holds, beyond some work stuff that is, in fact, booked. I’m trying to look at it as spontaneous and fluid, rather than a hot mess of uncertainty. I just had breakfast with a friend who will ship her three kids to camp for seven weeks and then head to Spain with her husband for two weeks. Meanwhile I’m trying not to lie on the floor in a ball of envy.
I may have no idea what June 1 through Labor Day holds, but I do know what I’m making Wednesday night! (Unless plans change . . . and I go out . . . or there’s a sale on lamb chops . . .)
