We've made some delicious cookies yesterday and today: apricot butter cookies (like my German grandma used to make), also with another flavor variation of red currant filling, plus thin mint cookies.

My day was filled with breech work (lots of meetings, working on the video analysis project & a new twin publication, video captioning), plus treating some mold that was growing on some spots on the walls. I did go running, which I haven't done for a while.

Dinner was roasted potatoes with creamy herbed pork chops.

Lots of homework for Inga and Zari.

Oh, Zari applied for her visa yesterday and was provisionally accepted, just awaiting the final card! We had to go to the prefecture with her. We handed the clerk a stack of 150 pages that we had prepared, with help from our attorneys. She looked at them, frowned, and said, "Vous avez trop de documents! Vraiment trop!" She gave about half of them back to us and continued frowning as if we had done it just to annoy her. By the end she looked less grumpy but at first, phew! I felt like a misbehaving school child getting sent to the principal's office.

Progress picture of the kitchen. All done except the countertops and backsplashes (arriving in about a month) and my desk, which will go on the far right side. We're deciding between making a built-in desk vs buying an antique.
