Yesterday disappeared into my writing but Katharina didn’t appear phased by the situation as she was perfectly able to entertain herself between finishing a book she was reading and something or other on her own computer. For me, it was a momentous occasion as I finally finished my own blogging and could now start concentrating on anything else with my immediate concern being what we’d be doing on the long 4th of July weekend.

Changing channels from two months of visiting and writing about Europe to making new travel plans was a non-starter as I only had ideas of where I didn’t want to go. So today was essentially a do-nothing-but-eat-and-chat day. Lunch as pizza at Lou Malnati’s and much to my surprise Kat opted to try the dessert of baked hot cookie topped with ice cream, which she finished both. If you are wondering if she’s impervious to jet lag this was the combo that knocked her out and afterward she had to give in to the power of the nap. As for tomorrow’s road trip plans, we’ll wait and discuss things with Caroline after she finishes work.
