I can see clearly now

Two great things: the top picture shows the new workout top that i snagged for the amayyy-zing price of 3.99 at our local discount store. The bottom picture shows me in my new glasses! (I guess the top picture does as well...) Everything is just so much crisper and clearer! It's great to have vision again.

This week was a doozy. I was overnight with Izzy every night and with Freyja and Katla from 8:30 to 5:30 tuesday through friday because KC's boss flew in from England and she had to be in the Manhattan office. Oh, and Simon and Charlotte on Monday and Thursday evenings. I was not at my apartment once the whole week. Rob and Spence missed me like crazy: the tears on their pillows bespeak the pain in their hearts. I estimate that I changed 30 poopy diapers in the past 7 days. I'm so over child feces.

I will be spending the afternoon with frey frey and kitty kat: KC and Baldur have requested that I remove them from the apartment for two hours so they can do a deep cleaning of the place. Three pairs of KC's shoes have gone missing and after they found all their CDs in a heating duct last month they figure that the whereabouts are in some place known only to Freyja and require a purging of the apartment to locate. Then hopefully I will be going into Manhattan tonight because my friend Caitlin, who just moved back to Philly last month, is visiting in town for the weekend.

Two weekends ago I trekked across the Brooklyn Bridge on my day off and it was absolutely beautiful! The sun was shining, the view was amazing, no complaints... I walked all the way from my apartment in Brooklyn to Penn station. It took about four hours but I was walking leisurely and I stopped in the Strand for a new book (Philip Roth's American Pastoral, so far so good, winner of the Pulitzer) so it might have been quicker. I was particularly excited to spot the skyscraper with the panels that appear to be undulating (see photos), because it is a Frank Gehry and I was just reading a really cool article about it.

Also included a few pics of freyja and katla.
