It is a gloomy gray day, both rainy and cold, not at all April-like. I’m thinking of Lisa, whose birthday it is today, and her assertion that it usually snows on her birthday. It could easily turn to sleet today, that’s the mood of the day for sure.
I have cancelled everything I had scheduled in order to lie in bed and try to fend off this cold I can feel coming on. I haven’t slept well, in part because Grace now likes to get up to pee every few hours, and while she doesn’t actually come in to say hello, she turns lights on and off and slams doors and generally rouses me to full wakefulness. And as you know, returning to sleep from that isn’t easy for me.
I can’t get sick now because baby Jack is being christened on Sunday. Grace and I are doing the daytrip to Bedford to be there. I can’t wait to see Hadley and Charlotte and John and of course my beloved baby boy.
Tomorrow night is my mother’s big event for the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. Am looking forward to it but if I don’t start feeling better I’ll be a last minute cancellation. All energy is now focused on Sunday and the Scully celebrations!
