Work begins tomorrow, the Tuesday after Labor Day. September 8. After summer school ended on August 13, all of us that worked have been off from the DOE. I’m not sure if I’m “ready” to go back. Usually I feel rested after the break between working summer school and the day we return. Usually I feel rested after”ready.” This September I don’t feel that readiness, that “ok, vacation is over let’s get back to work” feeling. I like working. I really like my job. My thoughts today.

My favorite people were here yesterday for dinner. I love my kids and I include my son in law as one of my “kids”. When I was raising them I never pictured what my kids would be like when they would be grown. Seeing them now watching everyone living their best lives. I look back and remember each as they were. The present adult versions have the quirks, charm and personalities that were all present when they were much younger. It’s pretty amazing to see all that.

We are all so, so excited to watch Alyssa in her 3rd trimester. November feels like tomorrow and next year all at the same time. One day at a time, it’s all you can do right? I love watching her belly grow. Lelly felt a kick yesterday. So cool.

We had such a great visit with Thomas yesterday. His meds are still being adjusted with the new psychiatrist. She’s been treating him over a year and half so I don’t know if she’s still “new”. I’m not over the former POS psychiatrist who fucked his meds up so horribly. Onward and upward! Yesterday Thomas was funny and sweet. It was so nice. I’m glad our day was good.
