Routine is back! I took T. to martial arts and Vic’s. What had been originally a double date got converted to one of the adults, and one of their children coming over to hang out with us. T. went for a bike ride. Several toys were taken out, batteries put in, and played with, and one of the noisemakers went home with the visitor, but not before dinner was prepared and consumed. Good times!
Also, the Sunday portal playdate happened today, because K. has another commitment during the usual time tomorrow.
A. has done most of her homework; I think just the English is left.
I finished reading _A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking_, by T Kingfisher. It is delightful, altho at times very, very dark. Also, a lot of the book reads like it is written by someone who eats baked goodies, but maybe hasn’t ever made them? Like, there are remarks about sourdough that make absolutely no sense at all (mostly the part about how a lot of time not making it more than three weeks, and also the idea that freezing would somehow damage sourdough). But it is a ton of fun! If the writing styles puts you off, probably don’t continue — it has a particular breezy, moderately humorous tone to it that if it does not work for you, it does not change. I, personally, loved Mona, and loved the tone, however, I have a friend who really disliked it, and I could imagine that being an issue for other readers as well.
