Today I asked Ally to prepare the quiz early so I wouldn't be sitting here typing at night. She wrote all her questions this afternoon. Here I am at night, typing. Days are so busy, a wonderful whirl. My mental list (I'm sorry, I just hardly ever make physical lists, but like daily goals) remains far from completed. I think, I hope, it was a good day anyway. The important things are done, though the floor remains unmopped.
