The weather turned to “hell-frozen-over”, and my dead disposal backed up into the never-used dishwasher and onto the floor, (maintenance is supposedly now coming today, if he ever gets the landlord to sign off on it), so just another day in paradise.  Can’t complain.  I’m fine hibernating in here for the duration.

Yesterday was S’s 11th birthday, so that was fun.  He had a friend over, and the requested “dirt cake” with a zero candle, and got his beloved “switch” for gaming, so he was in his element.  He seems a lot calmer and self-regulated than before.  He and I spent a lot of time together.
