15 years ago I was 5 months pregnant with CJ
Speaking of, I can't believe you had him driving. I can never, ever tell Ben this. He just turned 14 in February, but still. Yikes.
Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

I adore Shibas and Jindos but I think you all know that.
That's where I knew that dog's face from. Now that you say that, maybe he's a Jindo or Jindo mix. He looks like this [link] but he's probably about six months old. We just hope he's chipped.

Yeah, fifteen years ago Emmett was in utero.
My life hasn't changed too much since then. @@

There is a Jindo who hangs out in our local park. He's gorgeous.

I can't believe you had him driving.
He has been pushing so much about getting his permit in July and about how driving will be easy. I think he realized today that while driving is mechanically not that hard, just managing an empty parking lot was challenging. I hope it gave him some respect for the process. Judging distances and speed really surprised him. I don't expect to do it again until he has his permit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The physical act of driving isn't that hard; negotiating traffic is.
I think about this all the time with Emmett, and how I need to teach him how to read traffic. How to understand what's going on around him, in front of him, behind him, and far ahead of him.

Suzi, I can't imagine having to do driving lessons (argh!) but awesome that you did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so fucked.
There's a note in my calendar for Monday that simply says "Jury Duty."
Nothing else. No details. I can't find any jury summons, and of course...it's the weekend. I'm not sure who I'd call, but the numbers I've tried so far are no help. I don't have a juror ID and PIN, because I CAN'T FIND MY SUMMONS.
Shit. I have one piece of related paper, but it's a general purpose brochure. Surely I can't have called and deferred and then thrown out the docs? Even I can't be that bad.

He seemed so chill when I met him, I can only imagine he'll do a good job behind the wheel. Though, I remember...this many years later, how tense I was while learning to drive. One particular one-lane road nearly sent me over the edge (in both meanings of the word!). I wish him loads of luck and calm.

Oh man. Find it ~ma coming your way ita. I'm staring with dismay at my juror summons right now. ugh.
