Jun. 13th, 2022 08:45 amI walked out at Leverett this morning. I thought that the traffic would be terrible because of the sports ball thing but it was normal. Tired after watching the Tonys and getting up early for Z block. The last Monday of that! It was a very busy weekend with lots of DRIVING which I hated. I really dread it now. I think it's part of being at a higher level of anxiety at all times. One more big one - to the Cape! The good thing about that drive is that it gets easier the farther you go and it feels like going home.
Yesterday I drove Honey to New Bedford. We went to the Whaling museum because she's writing her thesis on Moby Dick. It's a terrific collection and a first-rate museum. The historical district is lovely but was deserted. We had lunch at Moby Dick's Brewery, which had outdoor seating. No beer though because I had to drive back. And it was terrible, as expected. DH was on a long ride in preparation for next week. We had Thai food and watched Ms. Marvel. Then watched Ariana DeBose do an AMAZING job hosting the Tonys. Such talent and confidence. One was convinced that she was having the time of her life. But why must it be on a school night.
Saturday, I drove Violet to Salem to hang out with her friends. She went off and I had fun exploring the harbor area. I went to the "oldest" candy store Ye Olde Pepper Companie and looked at the harbor. I forgot that Salem is so OLD and funky. 400 years of history of white people on the land. We're usually up on the pedestrian mall but the real story is down on the water. I'd like to go back and do a tour. I went out to Winter Island for most of they day. It's a town park with amazing views of the harbor and a small beach called Waikiki. I sat and wrote and read and ate on my blanket with nobody to stop or worry me. It was deeply relaxing. The water was deeply cold. I found my way into town for ice cream at Captain Dusty's and then picked up the kids to drive home. Terrible drive. DH and I went out for a beer and Irish nachos, then watched Strange New Worlds and I went to sleep.
Friday, while flossing, I broke the final piece of my tooth. On this coming Friday, I will be getting a crown and a filling. Thank goodness for Valium.
This week will be chaotic with finals, anniversary, camp prep, Cape prep and Sy's yahrzeit and dentist anxiety. Kind of looking forward to the routine days of July. Just remembered I have a FoPA party tomorrow. Yikes.
