Spring Break 2019
Usually we can't go anywhere during spring break because of Darwin's work schedule. Early April is always budget season, and he simply can't take a week off. So spring break is a home thing.
This year, Darwin doesn't have to worry about the city budget, but he's between jobs, so we shouldn't spend the money to go anywhere. Sigh. I'll never get an away spring break at this rate.
Also usually, the weather in Michigan over spring break is awful. This year was no exception--relentless winter cold and precipitation. Indoor weather. I spent the first part of the week spiffying up a proposal (synopsis and sample chapters) for a new novel, but that was done by Tuesday. So I did a lot of sleeping in, organizing closets and drawers, and going to movies.
Saturday, the weather actually cleared up and climbed into the 60 (just in time for break to end). I went on a 10-mile bike ride, which was very nice, and I'll probably go on another today.
The neighbors have been out all week with their leaf blowers and even lawn mowers. (What the hell are they mowing, I have to ask? The grass is still brown.) We're waiting to clear the lawn until we're sure there'll be no more snow.
And tomorrow we're back to school for SAT test week!
