Countdown to Prelims

It is time, dear friends, for the countdown to begin. Prelims begin a mere three weeks from today...and as my wonderful, calming husband pointed out, that means they also end three weeks from tomorrow.

Days until prelims start: 21
Days until prelims end: 22


What with Andy's busy work schedule extending into evenings and weekends, and my endless to-do lists for the various research projects, studying efforts, and house-related projects, we seem to have seen relatively little of each other the past two weeks. This made last Friday evening's little excursion to Como park all the more enjoyable, as we got to actually spend time together, enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery, and most importantly, test out our new blanket from Diane. This is a handy-dandy picnic & outdoor-ready blanket that is nice and soft and flannely on one side, but water proof on the other. It folds up & has handles so it looks like a small laptop bag for ease of carrying, too. We love it :). We're sure you will too, so we decided to show you some pictures:

  • as a fellow DFL worker i can empathize with andy's schedule and as a fellow DFL worker spouse, my amazing and tolerant wife can empathize with jess's longing for company. the important thing is to grab whatever spare time you have together and seize the moment, like it appears you did with your picnic. we should have a support group.
