TGIF, you guys.

I don’t have much today, but it’s Friday and I’m feeling some relief even before the day is over.

My life lately has looked like this:

overthinking

OMG TIRED

OMG IT’S FRIDAY!
TGIF!

I’ve already written about the Cubs twice this week so I won’t say another word about them…except to say that today is Cubs Day in Chicago and I sobbed like a baby watching the festivities on TV. Dylan took the train downtown to watch the parade and I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to be in the city so badly in my life, but work kept me home today.

After a crazy week, I’m looking forward to a slightly-lower key weekend, one during which Jim and both boys will all be home, all of us together for the first time since the summer. The weather is going to be beautifully fall-like, we’ve got some fun plans, and all of us get to turn the clocks back one hour on Sunday, which means my birthday gets to be 25 hours long this year. You can’t ask for much more than that. I’m going for some flotation therapy on Monday and Election Day is Tuesday, which means most American citizens are in a state of dread but one thing we can all look forward to is no more political ads everywhere we look.

So, TGIF. I’m focusing on the good stuff and looking forward to breathing a little bit this weekend, surrounded by my guys. Whatchu got?
