Refreshingly overcast

Awfully cozy in bed this morning, with the cats abutting my flanks and snoring peacefully. It was a delicate operation, extracting myself so as not to disturb them. They wanted, obviously, to keep snoozing, and I wanted to get up to make my morning cappucino.
We went through our usual routine today, just beating the showers.
Visited my one tutoring student, whom I have continued seeing because her mom really values my work with her daughter, as well as my work with her older daughter. She had some math homework, early geometry variety. Her mom asked me how I could remember "all that stuff" - I told her it flashes back to me as soon as I see it, and it's fun to help work it out. Mom runs a daycare in her home, and works very hard with several very young kids, including her own two and a half year old son.
Oh, what a lovely evening! got to IM with my beloved spouse, and while we were doing so, our son called from Yosemite. He and his friend had done a two day big wall aid climb on The Leaning Tower, during which a protection placement had blown unexpectedly, causing him to fall 30 feet onto his back, resulting in a sore arm and back. Nothing fatal, but took him by surprise. Sounds as if they were having a good experience, and I get vicarious thrills listening to him recount their exploits.
I'm nailing that fricking book tonight!
