Today I

  • Up to row.  Practiced our 8+ for Saturday.  Should be fast.  Not very effective at the high rates in the start, but we had good base speed and very good closing speed.  Somewhat nervous about my races, but I hope we win.
  • I got home and Kel was at the table with Johann, who was drinking his milk.  No one was having the rhubarb cobbler I made last night.  I remembered there might be zucchini flowers this morning, and there were.  I made two, gave one to Johann.  Seeing him with it in his hand made me happy.  He was a bit of a mess eating it, had it in pieces, but he did seem to like it.  I sent Kel with rhubarb cobbler and another one for Sirlei.  I put Johann in the car.
  • Kel told me this morning things weren't good for her.  Back to spotting and feeling yucky.  I asked her to have a plan for pulling the plug on work, which she did.
  • Kel did her second blood test today.  We'll get another result tomorrow to see how things are ramping. We're prepared for bad news.  If it's not going to work, we'd all prefer it to happen sooner.
  • I chatted with my girls about our first candidate today.  They seemed positive, and the interviews went well. I got blown off for a call by my boss again.  Pretty awful.
  • Interviewed another good candidate. She was in Trinidad.  Amazing, the internet. The world is getting smaller.  I think it's amazing.
  • Ended up crashing for a while today.  I admit, it feels nice to not feel totally exhausted.  I'm just leery of messing up my sleeping patterns.
  • Mailed mother's day presents at the Terra Linda office. They enter the address directly when printing the shipping label.  I think it does the auto routing for the whole package for the whole route.  Pretty smart to get the human to read it.
  • Got Johann.  He wanted a pretzel stick.  Xana showed me that he's eating un blended food now, so I gave him un-ground food tonight. I think the more he chews, the better for his vocal and lingual development.  He didn't like the curry that much, but he was happy with the rice and beans.  He wasn't nuts about the rhubarb, but I'll give him time on that.
  • Johann did a lot of pushing of his walker again tonight.  He really goes with it.  I think it's a pretty good sign, he's getting faster with is foot turnover, which will help him be more stable.  Still not much progress on free standing, though.
  • Chatted with Kel on the couch for a bit after little man went down.  Talked about exploratorium plans for Sunday, and that it may not make sense for them to come to the races on Saturday, though it would be fun to have a family day.  I don't understand my dad's choices in life.  I don't understand his priorities. I want to do things with Johann every day.  Maybe he was like that early on, but then it went away when there were many kids? I don't know.
