It was the kind of week that made Ashley feel like the main character in a bittersweet, big-hearted romcom—equal parts fresh starts and teary goodbyes. Monday began with her trusty daycare/cowork routine, where she squeezed in a call with a photographer to chat through an exciting new project, her iced coffee sweating beside her like a loyal sidekick. Tuesday was a symphony of multitasking: blog deadlines, grading, a pedicure that felt like therapy, and actual physical therapy squeezed in while Miles thrived at daycare. But Wednesday hit different—a heartfelt farewell to Itsy Bitsy, their cowork/play space home for the past two years, where she definitely *wasn’t* crying (except she totally was). On Thursday, she penciled in a brow appointment and another round of PT between work tasks, trying to keep the tears at bay and the ambition high. By Friday, Eric returned from a work trip just in time for a slow, sweet day indoors with Miles, thanks to Chicago’s not-so-great air quality. They built forts, read books, and paused just long enough for Ashley to wonder—how did she get so lucky to have a life this full, even on the days when the skies weren’t clear?
