Who designed this ultramarathon course?

My W called me today. One of S's friends had called her wanting to get together with S. My S is with me today and tonight.

It turned out to be an interesting conversation. We made the arrangements for Thanksgiving day that I was concerned about. I just told it didn't make sense to deal with getting my S home on Friday morning if she had to work. We just left it that we would coordinate the exchange and do it the most convenient way possible. I'm willing to be flexible in this case. I think she appreciated me taking the lead on it.

So then the conversation got to the point where I have volunteered to let S's friend spend the night. I also mentioned being at S's school the last couple of days. She made a comment that she was the one who made the presence at school at one time and now it's me. I mentioned talking to the teacher. I also mentioned I had some brownies that I could make for the boys after dinner.

She then said, "I don't know if I can handle all these changes!", and kind of chuckled. I just said, "I like 'em!". She noticed them before and honestly I thought they were status quo by this time. I guess I'll take them as small positives. Life is going on with or without her around here.

So now I have my S's friend spending the night. Hopefully they don't tear the house down.

Unfortunately, the dog raided the brownies while were all in the basement so now I have to deal with that I've called the emergency vet as a precaution and I've fed her a few doses of hydrogen peroxide. She doesn't seem that fazed by any of it...yet.
