I was up way way too late last night watching my brother rebuilt his engine (blew a head gasket the day before I got here.) It was fascinating, but whoa, time got away from us and I think we were up past 3, and of course I sleep like ass my first night anywhere.

Waiting for him to finish tuning it before heading into the throngs.

Nephews are cute as ever.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's cold out. -5 F, with a wind chill of -20 to -30. That's cold by Wisconsin or Minnesota standards even.

We have -8 with a -28 windchill. And it's STILL snowing. I'm bummed because the kids have been in the house for four days and I really wanted to take them to the gym today. Their colds are finally clearing up and the gym's daycare is usually empty on Sunday afternoon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat! It's Sunday already, isn't it? (Early am ER visit has thrown off my time sense). Too asocial to come by today? (Don't worry--I totally get it, plus parents).

Just heard that family hasn't hooked up beach time yet.Mostly sold out, I'm told. Now I'm irritable. Every time I come home we do beach time As news go, it's the kind that's not, but how much can I complain that they aren't doing this ritualstic nice thing for me? And them--it's not like I go alone?

ita, you're leaving on the 24th, yes? DAMN. Time is getting away from me (we missed an OT appointment yesterday because I got confused).

Noah has speech therapy right now. Is tomorrow a possibility, ita?

Sure. Not doing anything but cleaning, job hunting, and getting ready to leave.

Then tomorrow it is. Each day we have SOMEthing planned. But it's only one thing and for a short time. Like today, we are supposed to go to a class thing for K in Pasadena at 1:00. Tomorrow we have yoga for me, OT for Noah, a 5;00 PM class meeting. Tuesday we are going to the Wild Animal Park. Wednesday I'm getting tickets for Noah's Ark. Thursday is xmas. Friday my dad goes home. Saturday we have to be at the DWP festival of lights thing. Sunday we have to be at the Farmer's Market. Monday? Don't remember. Ugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's cold and drizzly in SF. And by cold I mean it's 46, and by drizzly I mean you would get moistened if you stepped outside.

Matilda (with very little marking for her face bonk yesterday) is off to church with JZ. Emmett's had pancakes and I'll be peeling him away from HIMYM to do the last vestige of homework so he can chill for the rest of his vacation.

I only need a few more xmas presents and some stocking stuffers. Now if we can just find a car.

What time tomorrow do you figure, Kat, about?

Close to 11, I think.

No problem. Just remembered my doctor's appointment, but it's at nine, so it should be just fine.
