Vacation

[vaneramos]

I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow—mostly the cottage and some Toronto—and won't be home until after July 2. Between difficult family stuff and a stressful work week, I'm feeling emotionally raw and ready for down time. Not that this vacation will be particularly quiet. For starters, I'm going to Brenna's grade eight graduation tomorrow evening. Her mother invited me, which is unprecedented (I haven't met any of Brenna's teachers since kindergarten). Brenna will be valedictorian.

Then I'll have a quiet day alone at the cottage before things get busy with family. I've been savouring the thought of some quiet hours on the dock, to get me through this week.

Just wanted to let friends know I haven't fallen off the end of the world yet.

Congratulations to Brenna, and big strong furry hugs to you, Van.

I hope you enjoy your day of peace and quiet at the cottage, and I hope it helps melt all the stress away.

Enjoy your vacation, and congratulate Brenna for us on her achievement!

I'm sending you many, many hugs. The only groundrule is that any you happen to distribute to your loved ones, you have to take two for yourself.

Congratulations to Brenna, love to all, especially your Mom.
