On Tuesday I spent most of the day cleaning and doing laundry. The house has been a disaster, and it was nice to get it back in shape. Mary stayed home sick with a sad little cough, and honestly that made the cleaning possible. She is the BEST babysitter and follows Clarissa around lovingly for hours. It’s seriously beyond belief. I was so, so grateful.
Then in the evening I went out to dessert with my friends, Jill and Linda. We processed our Sunday Relief Society meeting together. After Jill had to go to take a work call, Linda and I sat in the car chatting until almost 10 pm. It was such a wonderful, connective conversation.
Then I came in, gave my mom a foot massage while talking to her, talked a bunch to Abe, and went to bed with a sore throat from talking so much.
