Two kiddos have October birthdays so today we put birthday celebrations on the calendar and agreed when S18 would be home. That puts a better timeframe on things for me, as talking to S in person is a critical piece of the plan.

I have been OK all day, running a basketball practice for my team, doing house chores, warehouse club shopping. Regular weekend busy stuff. H has been around, grilled burgers for dinner. Back to limbo for a few more weeks.
