We went our separate ways this evening with vastly different experiences ahead of us.
Edwin gulped down a quick meal of leftover pasta, threw on a black sweater and black dress pants, and ran out the door to drive himself to Langley High School for the first in-person Model UN conference since COVID.
I changed out of my leggings and sweatshirt into a sweater and jeans just in time to greet an old friend at the door. She chatted with Chris and Maxine for a few minutes before we began our brisk walk down to Lebanese Taverna to meet a third friend. We hadn’t all been together since before COVID, and we thoroughly enjoyed updating each other on our lives over wine, good food, and much laughter.
Not long after I left, Chris and Maxine headed out to begin their evening: dinner at District Taco followed by a viewing of Scream 5 at AMC Hoffman Center.
I am happy with my choice.
