She swam for more than two days straight! I didn’t even know that was remotely possible.

I loved writing this. Thanks to Debbie Spengler for the idea, right when I needed it! This is technically May’s second paid lesson. Thanks everyone for your patience.

And now, I’m going on Summer break for June and July. Substack has a feature so writers can go on vacation. No one will be charged during that time and the months won’t count. It’s genius.

It’s the closest I can get to freezing time and I need it! Like in X-Men when everyone is frozen but you (the freezers) can still walk around. It might be the best superpower ever besides being invisible.

I’m looking forward to spending time with my crew - now up to three kids and three dogs. And collaborating with my son George (Geo) on his new substack iosemt.substack.com

Love to all and Happy Spelling,

Gigi
