Well, today I took S in for his baby shots. We were going to catch up with a friend after, but she had to work. I'd offer to let H drive us back home, since the Dr is near his office.

I picked up some old favs from places we used to eat and we had a nice low key dinner.

It helps keep things more positive and provokes curiosity.
