We had the stitches removed on Monday, and Story’s scar is healing nicely. I have a scar in almost the same place on my forehead, on the right instead of the left. My 3-year old self was walking in a pair of new shoes still connected by the little plastic “thingy” (as Sailor calls anything of which she doesn’t know the name).

There are many things I need to think about, or that I think I need to think about:

The start of school. The start of Sailor’s preschool. The best way to keep the chickens in our yard, now that they’ve discovered how to escape through the gate.
