We have Kerry with us tonight. Woohoo!

I cleaned the patio today. Swept it. Hosed it down. It looks soooo much nicer. Ready to use—almost!—for the coming summer season when it’s so nice outside in the evenings. We used it a ton last year. The only thing that’s missing is the string lights, which we took down when we got our termite treatment. Liz and I were going to do that too, actually, but we found a couple active (tiny) wasp nests and figured it would be best to take care of those first and then put everything up. Le sigh.

Tired. A good solid day. I can feel my routine just beyond my fingertips. So close. Missing Coco today a lot. It’s been four months. It feels simultaneously like yesterday and a lifetime ago.

I miss you sweet baby.
