Brought a bouquet of wildflowers back home with me from the orchard.

I'm going to regret the mess they make on the kitchen table (pretty sure with them I brought in some critters as well) , but they're pretty and smell like summer.

Diary of a Redwall Mouse

July 22nd: breakfasted on a lovely array of fresh strawberries and goat’s cheese with honey, oat cakes and barley porridge. For luncheon we feasted on a catch of smoked trout, vegetable stew, and of course a couple of flagons of October Ale

Felt randomly jittery and overstimulated at work, ended up following an urge to curl up under my desk. Just normal, professional business things, nothing to see here.

I now know what it feels like to be the quote-unquote boring/nagging mom with a "fun dad" for a husband.
