In this episode, I explain why I’m wearing glasses after dealing with a lingering stye that’s turned into a chalazion, what I’ve tried so far, and what the eye doctor may have to do next. We also talk about how May has felt overwhelmingly busy, including dance recital weekend, end-of-school chaos, graduation season work stress, and a last-day-of-school scare when Henry threw up in the middle of the night. We share how burned out we both feel, what we do (and don’t) do for ourselves to rest, and some summer realities like neighborhood kids, pool safety concerns, and snack boundaries. To reset, we’re taking a summer break from weekly episodes while staying active on social media and posting occasional updates.
