various updates

My spouse had surgery yesterday and is, happily, already home and sitting in the bed next to me. It went very, very well, and the recovery is expected to be good and not too long, and once the effects of anesthesia and surgery have entirely worn off he will (I hope, I hope) have much more energy again and enjoy his life more than he has in the past six months of unbalanced hormone levels. Fingers crossed and all of that, but I am somewhat less stressed and tenatively hopeful for it all.

The weekend is relatively unplanned, although I have arranged a playdate for tomorrow morning with a family we are increasingly close to, which will make certain my children get out into the air and have some friend time unfettered by the usual school pressures, and which will give me a chance to sit and talk with my marvelous friend E. who despite various family health issues of her own has been making sure she is available in case our family needs anything over this week. It will be good to catch up with her.

Sunday smol daughter and I plan to go to the farmer's market to get more grapefruit, and perhaps more goat, although the shanks are as yet uncooked so we will see what comes of that.

I am very, very tired due to waking up too much to worry about everything, but perhaps tonight I will catch up? It seems not impossible and would be an excellent start to the weekend.
