Sunday, 25

  • Let’s be upfront: we spent all day in pajamas and did almost nothing today. It was wonderful. Highlights included reading The Guardian, reading a chapter of Infinite Jest, Ben finishing his homework early in the afternoon, Lily perfuming and making herself up all day, and a long, late-afternoon nap.

  • In the evening, I got the kids to clean up all their messes. We have improved a lot in this respect. After showers and evening snacks, kids went to bed, I took the rent to A., J. and I ate a bit of dinner, and then we sat down to watch Selma.
