First, a clarification: there is no crisis at the moment. I have a lot of options in front of me, and my main challenge for the next few months is to pull these opportunities together and craft a path/plan out of it. Of course, they also need to be compatible with Matt’s school plans, but we’ve even discussed the possibility of “dividing and conquering” for a short amount of time, if it helps get us to the goal post sooner rather than later.

Having said all that, I am the type that wants to put dream into action NOW. Scheming and plotting is great, but I’d rather work on the implementation instead. So that’s where I stand…I’m trying to move away from the issues for at least a few weeks, and just let the chips land where they will. We are traveling twice in the next month, so I’ll have plenty of time to forget about what’s going on. That’s my plan, at least.

Dinner with Matt is at the Star of India, which is our usual tradition for every semester that Matt gets all A’s or A-‘s. (Like there has been a semester where he HASN’T gotten them!) We might meet up with Malcolm for coffee afterwards, and then I’m going to go straight home and sleep. It’s been a rough week sleep-wise, but at least I’ve been to the gym every day. Is that a fair trade-off?
