Lemonade

When a family’s main breadwinner finds himself suddenly unemployed, it’s hard not to spend one’s waking hours running in circles going WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP EMERGENCY STATUS CODE RED THE END IS NIGH. This reaction, I imagine, is normal if not expected.

(Although it is a little easier to skip the running in circles part when one is seven and a half months pregnant and in no mood to move more than necessary. Instead I spin circles WITH MY MIIIIIIIND.)

Panicky doomsday thoughts aside, I refuse to apologize for what a freakin’ spectacular time we’ve been having during Simon’s surprise hiatus from the workforce. Having him around all day has felt downright indulgent, and although it’s true that absence can make the heart grow fonder, it’s also true that you can’t tackle-hug someone who’s not there.

This is our lemonade-out-of-lemons spring, and it tastes pretty fantastic.
