Had a (planned) surgery yesterday, and hey, it turns out you really need your abdominal muscles for just about everything.

Teaching music these days is wild - kid’s piano teacher assigned her “In The Mood” and we were able to YouTube her four different versions to watch, including one from the 90s swing revival. So many resources!

This afternoon, I joined Archbishop Elpidophoros and faith leaders at St. Nicholas National Shrine to mark the 25 years since the horrific terror attacks of 9/11 and reflect on the resilience of our city.

A work acquaintance was telling me that she tried a medication that had the side effect of making her anxiety vanish and making her quite dumb. She said it was revelatory. I want this. I want to be dumb and unaffected. Can you imagine?

My insurance covers all of my Skyrizi dose except for a small amount - $3,800. Luckily I have a manufacturer’s savings card to cover that but I cannot fathom being 80, or an immigrant, or under the poverty line, trying to navigate this insanity.

My October surgery will likely prevent me from going on our annual family camping weekend and I am so, so sad about it.

Verdi is actually a pretty good soundtrack to take me through Western Wisconsin.

Sitting in a school boundary redrawing meeting. MMSD hasn’t redrawn school boundaries since the early 1980s. Since then Madison has added 100,000 people. It’s overdue and my kid’s stuffed school is proof.

Was in the car with kiddo and we were listening to 70s country. Rhinestone Cowboy came on and after a while she started singing from the back seat - but it was snippets of “Kiss the Girl”. And the mashup *worked*.

One of the side benefits of academia is that the last week of class there are snackies everywhere. This week along I’ve had donuts, Kyiv cake, German cookies, coffee and bagels, and family recipe samples from a Folklore final presentation.
