Thanks to “summer”

[eve_prime]

...I could do all of these things that I wouldn’t usually get to do:

• I picked three roses (in shades of peach, gold, and cream) to take to D’s school secretary, to thank her for getting him a corrected graduation certificate.
  
• I spent time swimming in the pool with D, including multiple “races” and a brief spinning contest. (Note to self: No more swimming contests.)
  
• I got to hang out with a few co-workers at Hideaway Bakery’s pizza night, with their outdoor pizza oven, live music, and a really delightful, almost Mediterranean atmosphere. (Now I want to go back every Tuesday!)

So, thank you, Summer!

Meanwhile, I’m starting to plan a pilot study to improve the odds for funding my recently rejected grant proposal. I also thought I would finally get to start my dissertation survey, but the fellow who supposedly fixed it in fact introduced new problems.
