It was lovely to hear from you, Slowly. Thank you for the reassurance that I belong here.

I think you may be right about lightening things up a bit. I would like to think about some 180s.

Today was a busy social day and H has been fine. He seems to do better with lots of people around. He likes an audience and I think he enjoys a fresh one. He loved having spectators when the snake had her weekly meal (a mouse).

I was rereading my posts from a year ago. OW's birthday is today. I do wonder whether or not they've been in touch. We took S10, D8 and nephew to a stand up comedian's this pm and H seemed somewhat preoccupied with his mobile phone. Who knows? I actually can't be bothered to give it too much thought.

After guests left tonight, H helped clean up the kitchen a little more energetically than usual. That was nice.

We're off tomorrow with S10, D8 and nephew to Somerset to stay with my mother. A year ago, H would not have been staying with my family. That has to be progress.

Once we're into 2006 (and kids back at school), I want to sort out some goals and visit some other threads and get to know the Piecing posters better. There is so much wisdom on this BB. I've been on this BB over a year but still have a lot to learn. I keep thinking that when I'm a BB graduate that I can start posting more on other people's threads. I'm starting to realize that I'll never graduate and that I can offer support even if I'm not 'there' myself. So beware, some of you may get input from me before too long!

Happy New Year everyone!

Wendy
