falling asleep on a swing (52/365b)

Well, I didn't take a photo today. My memory card was full, and I didn't feel like it. *excuses, excuses*

and now that i've emptied the memory card I don't feel like a blurry grainy noisy picture of me sitting around in the dark all tired.

brian let me sleep in after staying up way too late and getting too high on music last night.

by the time he got back from driving the kids to kindergarten (their last day at that place) nina was over, breakfast was served, coffee was made, and the morning had started. he went off to work. we chatted inside, to avoid the terrible soggy mess that is all of the outside world right now.

bettina came to practice the bridge lament and we recorded ourselves for ourselves, and laughed at the dreadful intonation in some spots.

i picked the kids up. attempted to get them in the car at the right time, but all of them were having an emotionally difficult day and i had to basically beg ronja to let me take her home. on janishhofweg, the very one-lane but two-way road that the kindergarten is on, is a construction site, and a big truck was delivering stones. we waited quite a while before the truck driver was ready to let us pass. upwards of 10 minutes.

theodore practiced all on his own while i made a rhubarb cake with rhubarb from irmtraud's garden and then we all went to the abenteuer spielplatz to share the cake with the magical people there. fritz liked it well enough to say he would bring me all of his rhubarb. he was busy making a new swing that's bigger than a single bed. when he finished sawing drilling hammering etc, everyone in the park came and posed for a picture on it, we fit something like 4 adults and 8 kids on it.... everyone else went away but i lay there for a while looking up at the trees (and the rain drops, because of course it was raining again) and fell asleep until closing time. i would call that a very good swing.

got theodore back in time to get to his opera performance (he wasn't supposed to play tonight but he was filling in for somebody else) and got henry ready to go, because he wanted to watch. the original plan was for me to go too, but i was just so tired, and i practice fiddling in the bathroom while felix took a bath, then read him to sleep where i fell asleep myself.
