Sun 29 Jul

Were able to pick Laura up after her arms day at the gym and have one last lunch with her in Madison, a little more time together that I craved. She looks good, fresh pink in her hair, and ready to go. She has been able to meet with many groups of Madison friends for goodbyes, and has more scheduled in the next couple of days before flying to CO on Tuesday evening. She will have to pay tuition next semester to finish the final edits of her dissertation and return to defend it, but she looks more relaxed. Her packed pod is already en route and she is sleeping in the small twin with the cheap mattress that she plans to leave behind. She is eating leftovers, protein bars, and various get-togethers with friends at restaurants. She has a wedding to attend with friends tonight, and Carrie is staying at her apartment. She will be fine.
