Life is Good

Reasons to be happy today:

• My sinuses are finally clear. (No, I never did go to the doctor.)
• Our big release at work finally shipped. Finally. It's two weeks late, but who's counting? We shipped before the end of the quarter, so all is well. After weeks of working 30-plus hours, the regular schedule is going to seem like a vacation.
  
• The heat wave finally broke. Today's high was 73. Ahhh.
• Starbucks Raspberry Chocolate Frappacino. With whipped cream. (Kristi, go get one now.)
• Watching LW dance to "I'm a Believer" on the stereo.

EM finished up his Lego Robot Olympics camp today. It was a bit inconvenient to drive him (it's about an hour away with the road construction detour), but we were able to carpool and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. And I discovered the Starbucks cafe at Barnes & Noble is quite a comfy place from which to telecommute.

EM also broke his glasses this morning. The glasses we have had for about five weeks. The ones we had to pay for out-of-pocket to replace the pair he lost in the Mediterranean. It's not entirely his fault--the metal nose piece snapped when he unfolded them in order to put them on--so I'm hoping the optometrist's office will be able to fix them or replace them at little or no charge. Still. This is the third pair of lost or broken glasses this boy has had! In three years of wearing glasses! Not that I'm counting or anything.
