Briefly.

Lots going on in the last few days – a visit to Brian’s parents, some stresses with his ex, and now he’s moving upstairs into the suite she once occupied. A busy time for him, some emotional issues coming up for both of us given the circumstances – but everything is feeling pretty good and the new space is much nicer than than the one he’s been in for the last year. He’s managed to get renters downstairs who are moving in Thursday, and then we are off to a wedding of his friends for the weekend.

For my part I’ve weathered several small crises over the last few days (including Mica puking her guts out in the back seat of my car Saturday night from food poisoning), and am feeling pretty on top of it all. I have been pleased that my innate responses to things (like above crisis) seem to be for the most part appropriate – and a little more confident that yes, I can probably do this step-parenting thing.

And besides all of that I am still totally in love, overwhelmingly so this week. I won’t gush about it – but it just keeps getting better and better.

All of this of course is fodder for a longer post, which will come, but for now I’ve got a union consult to do and am not sure if I’ll be back at the blog today.
