A few things
Gramma fell and broke her arm on Tuesday. I'm absolutely gutted. How off is the timing for this? My aunt is dealing with this on her own, my mother has no intention of going and I'm here. She's supposed to be doing well and is out of the hospital, but this happened because she was in the kitchen pitting cherries without her cane or walker like she promised. Bah. There's nothing I can really do from here but cheer here on because flying back isn't an option right now.
B and M are back in school and getting on pretty well. Sadly, the year 6s aren't doing any real work because it's the end of the year and sats are over. B was back in time for the puberty talk yesterday. I asked him if he learned something he didn't already know and he told me that after the egg comes out there's blood. Go nurse, right? I drew him a little diagram and explained in more detail about the egg and the uterine lining and how that all works. Also, he was under the impression that it's a tiny bit of blood and periods only last three days. Ha ha.
I took samples to two more cafes today. One was a cafe that I was talking to months ago but nothing ever panned out. The woman I spoke with previously is gone and there is someone new running the show - she was very impressed with what I brought and said she'd be getting in touch soon.
J is being hilarious and cuddly and giggly. I love it. Also, bedtimes are so much easier with him back in his own room. He may not fall asleep right away, but he's happy to get into bed with a collection of toy cars on his pillow and a few dolls grouped around him at the civilized hour of 7:30 even if he has a really long afternoon nap ending at, say, 4. Yay.
