Lots of laughs this morning. Not when my alarm went off (three hours after turning in,) but when I presented at the back-to-school kick-off in Ankeny, Iowa. It was a good crowd, attentive, jovial, and the space felt small for 600 people (the fire marshal winced.)
This was my main goal this morning: good vibes with a bit of content thrown in. A little bit less rigorous on the content than usual, but oftentimes less is more. One’s brain can only process so much at a time, and it’s much easier to process when you’re enjoying yourself. Especially after coming off a great summer and having to sit for three hours.
But now is when I crash. Must be the combination of red meat, lack of sleep, and humidity. I’m wasted.
Jen’s grandparents “Big Mommy” and “Big Daddy” had me over for dinner last night, they only live 30 minutes from Ankeny. Aunt Herky and cousins Abby and Emma were there, too. It was great to see them and to have a home-cooked meal in their comfy home while on the road. I love that!
Also had some super yummy Iowa corn! I think I still have pieces stuck in my teeth. People here must go through kilometers of dental floss!
