Aww, yay Ryan! And nice that his grandparents can be close.
Silver car makes way more sense.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Kudos Ryan!

Yay, Ryan! And Ryan's grandparents!
Askye, kids are a big adjustment to be around full time.
Speaking of which, we're in the car headed home from Mom's. I haven't changed a diaper since last Wednesday. Back to the solo parenting from 7-6 tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.
Well done, Ryan!
Extra hands are such a wonderful thing. Good to hear that Ryan is going to have more grandparent time, and yay for the time off, sj!
Welcome Monday. Ugh. More certification testing again. Going to age me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thank you all! Ryan decided that he should bring his medal to school for show and tell. Alas; before they got to it, his medal went missing. He's devastated. (It's quite the emotional roller coaster when you're six.) We're hoping it'll turn up, but I don't know.

Thrive to spite them
Yay Ryan for the medal and ugh that it's missing. I hope it can be found.
My short term disability claim is still in limbo because of fax issues again with my former meds manager. I left a message for the analyst and if he calls back I'll give the fax if not I'll call hartford.
Today I am being lazy. I am going to take a shower find some clean clothes...I need to do laundry...and then get a library card, go to Best Buy and open a bank acciunt. But mostly drive my new car.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, good grandparent news, bt. And yay for Ryan's medal, but I know he's sad it's missing. I hope it turns up.
Yay new car, askye! And sudden influx of seven-year-old will shake any life up.
I'm glad you got a break, sj, and family got to bond with ltc.
There are times when I'm glad I don't have a lot of family to deal with. On the other hand, today is StE's birthday, so my family is one member fewer than I'd wish it to be.

Big hugs, Beverly. I know it is always there, but on the big memory days it is more on the surface.
For the most part I am grateful for the family being close. It can be a bit tricky in election years though.

Thinking of you today, Beverly.

{{{Beverly}}} Keeping you in my thoughts today.
I have both the close relatives and the not close relatives. I'm very grateful for the small Thanksgiving gathering, and then getting to see the rest of the step-family after for dessert. My niece, I, who is 3 now really liked the baby until her mom was holding her, and then she freaked out and became hysterical. Her mom is not allowed to hold another baby, although she quickly volunteered that she didn't care if daddy held ltc.
Also, my step-cousin's wife is pregnant again after two miscarriages. She's understandably very nervous, but seems to be far enough along and had enough tests that things are looking good so far. So, hopefully next year there will be another little girl in the family!
