Okay, it’s not actually that bad. Tomorrow my youngest, age 19, has to show up for jury duty. I know that she will almost surely be released, since I used to work in law enforcement and they don’t want to have jurors with ‘influences’. But it still is a stark reminder that my girls are no longer the little kids in my brain.
I spent the last couple of days checking in with people doing the Disney 47 challenge I mentioned last time. None of them made it, alas. The hours this time of year are on the short side, which makes it hard to cram it all in. Another contender tries on Wednesday, and I’ll watch them.
Speaking of Disney, I have decided to start saving up for annual passes. It’s been several years since we’ve been, and I’ve been pining for them. My girls ask constantly when we are going to go to Disney Springs, which is the outdoor shopping center, because that’s the only place we can go that is free. Well, except for the food. And what food!
So far my favorite cheap food at Disney Springs – well, cheap by Disney standards – is at the poutine booth. Big steak fries slathered in gravy with chunks of cheese melting in it. Some of the snack stalls in DS have food so good you really don’t need to go into a restaurant.
