This week has been hectic but excellent. Many good and interesting things are happening at work in parallel, which keep me busy during the workday. Since Uma started school, we’ve also adjusted our daily schedule. We’re busy from 6:30 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening. That has reduced my time for...
