The days have been mild and springlike so far in Nov., perfect for walking, working, and enjoying nature do its work without my help.

The house was unusually empty all day, just right for my devious cleanup projects!  I doubt they even noticed when they came home.  The office is somewhat restored to order, as is Y’s rat cave.  Now if only Avdi can find affordable, accessible solutions for the kids’ mental/physical health, and thus be able to work in peace to afford it all, that will be the ultimate order.

A’s partner Allie has been in town from TN, so that helps with his own mental health for the moment.  She has been assisting remotely with his/kids’ medical/healthcare business and scheduling, taking a lot of the load off him.  I stuck around in the evening so they could go out to dinner.  Later Jess brought us frozen custard (a food group in STL), and took me home.
