Another day down...

Happy thoughts - the simple things,

• a pair of dump trucks and a bobcat to start O's day with a laugh and shout.
• finding the missing "O" to his name stool - under the stove - it's been gone so long a friend of my parents had already made us a new one
• routines - they help with the stress of a missing parent - even if Higgy isn't here, the routine is helping O cope
• 80 mile drive to San Ramon, took 80 mins - both there and back! I hope tomorrow is the same.
  

Things aren't all perfect though. With the smoky air, school has been limiting the amount of outside play. O is going to bed at least an hour later than usual because he has so much extra energy. At least I realized that was the problem and adjusted tonight. No reason to have the endless get back in bed conversation for two hours.

2 days down, 4 more to go. and in 2 days, I have reinforcements.
