Back to life as we know it

There. Deep breath. Back to normal. Today was another great day. Was able to go for a walk with the family, see an old friend I hadn't seen for 8 months, do the spelling pre-test with my son, and just in general be centered around the family. Much more healthful than thinking about politics or anything else over which I have no direct control.

Also, one of my jobs at night is to get my little fella ready for bed. When I say "bath" he runs towards the stairs and away we go. Then he gets to take a bath with his big brother, and it's bottle and bed time. I always lay down with him in our bed while he drinks his nighttime bottle and then give him a massage and it's into the crib without a whimper. That also allows my wife to have a good solid half hour of relaxation, equally important.
