strands

last day with catherine. she's on vacation through the end of the week. weird, bittersweet, odd. i have never left behind a place and a group of people i wasn't already ready to leave. pangs.

but this week has been so good, triumphant, right. last weekly dinner with the family. and then off home to a slow burn of a thunderstorm. rained all night. been a long time since we've had one like that. not a typical summer thing for us.

the days are numbered - smaller and smaller.
