I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard.

Thanks rH. I'm on the mend. Not feeling well does make things more difficult. I was extremely ill, in every sense of the word, Saturday night when S9 was having trouble sleeping. W should be here, I'm sick she's playing, etc. I was over it by morning, but her ears should've been on fire.

She texted me yesterday morning to see how I was doing. Brought us lunch and hung out here most of the day. I didn't ask, but she talked about her night out. Lots of good funny stuff.

She then discussed how she/we should start a handy man business on the side. As usual, she hadn't thought it all the way through but it was fun to talk about. Basically she wanted to run it with me as the handy man. She hadn't thought about including a charge for her time. When I told her she was missing a charge for her time she said that would be ok I'd give her my money anyway. True.

Bklyn, I think I'm doing better with giving her space. I don't ask questions and am letting her decide how much she wants to participate with the boys and me. I read the synopsis on your book recommendation. I'm going to try to pick it up. What I found most helpful was that though she let go, she still talked about screaming at the trees, etc. I hope you and your daughters are doing well.
