day 13: home

 This is H's last full week of summer break. He goes back full-time while I'm traveling for work. Lame-o. So we've been savoring this last week home - going for a picnic lunch, binge-watching the rest of Battlestar Galactica, grilling and sleeping.I can't tell you what a relief it's been to have him home. The school year is so demanding, especially with him also giving nights to grad school and other work obligations. I could feel the switch flip July 4th weekend. We'd come back to each other after months of busyness with work and friends.September's transition back into the reality of the school year, away from the summer days and having H home, is always tough for me... but I am hopeful that each August I learn a better way - and can do better at enjoying my life - until H surfaces from all of his commitments Thanksgiving weekend.- - -Those flowers are a bouquet my sister left for us after dog/house sitting over a week ago. They are awesome.See all of my August Break 2013 posts here
