The Inbetween

A spent the afternoon with me at Casa Milagro. Many smiles were made.

She acted surprised to see me (still) nursing and asked if it hurt. I told her that it didn't. I forget that what I find to be completely natural others may find to be odd.

We sat quietly in the sun and watched A color the sidewalks in chalk.

K exercised our revitalized resolution: follow through.

Today

The laundry is piled to the ceiling.

The cat is still sick.

A spent the day with K, chasing "choo choo" all over the railyard and playing on the swings. I spent the day at school, then a few hours at Casa Milagro. I will continue to be humbled and inspired by those labeled "mentally ill."

The "to do" list is longer than the calendar month, but needs to fit into seven short days. I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Only one more week of classes. Dinner conversation consisted of us wondering how we're really going to keep up this kind of schedule over the next few years.

A and K never cease to amaze and inspire me. They are a magical duo. I cannot imagine this life without them.
