Tuesday: meeting, walks, bike ride, Azucar

I drove over to Florence for a meeting with some people who put together a really thorough proposal. It’s great! Having done the meeting while the architect is on vacation, I’m now trying to figure out if we could maybe actually just go forward while the architect is on vacation. A bunch of the participants in this have vacations that kind of line up neatly, making everyone being able to meet up in person kinda tricky, but it is also not clear to me that everyone does need to meet up immediately to make forward progress. One of the questions is whether I should wait, and if so, how long I should wait, for competing proposals to materialize. It sounds like the architect solicited three in total, and one has ghosted us. Proposals were apparently due at the beginning of the month (prior to the vacation), but only one made it in by that time; the other one asked for an extension, but as far as I can tell, nothing has since happened. I don’t feel like I need to decide today, but I’m definitely itching to decide; probably before Friday. We’ll see how I feel in the morning.

I walked with M.

I walked with R.

A. had her neurodiversity club today and had fun.

After she came home and had her dinner, R. and I biked over to Maynard to have drinks and tapas at Azucar. Delightful! I need to do that more often.

ETA: edited subject line because it wasn’t a Wednesday, it was a Tuesday. I _thought_ it was a Wednesday, because it was such a weird Tuesday, and we went out to dinner. Ooops!
