• It’s better; he is less volatile but still storm-wary.

  My sister took the younger two for the weekend so it was just Stan and I.  That was good.  Even though I had to work, I still had ½ days Friday and Saturday that were just me n him.  We worked in the yard and went out to dinner, mostly.  Hung out.  Sunday, the short ones got home and the general chaos resumed.

   

  Storms expected this afternoon.  Stan is at a day camp at the university.  I had to tell the leader (who is a cop) and her response was, “Well we’re police officers; we’ll keep him safe.”  Dude, you totally missed my point.  I said the storm would make him nervous and uncomfortable, not I’m afraid the storm will hurt him. 

   

  More changes at work.  Meeting in 20 minutes to determine if I work Tue – Sat instead of Mon – Fri.  I have mixed feelings.  I’d agree to a trial period, certainly, but not sure about “permanent,” whatever that means.  It would mean (in theory) no more 12 days in a row twice a month, covering weekends in rotation.  Also means no more soccer for Ollie (or any other Sat AM team sport.)  Be nice to be off on a weekday for Dr. appts, etc., but will change all vacations a bit, and I already have rooms booked for July, Sep, and a Christmas weekend cabin at a big state park.  Not sure, not sure. 

   

  15 minutes.
