It's wierd how, at perfectly routine appointments to check in with Dr. Hatfield on Mark's status, I can nonetheless get weepy around the edges. Maybe it's because I'm in a reasonably safe space for doing so, with professionals who are used to parents reacting that way, and even more so used to kids like Mark.
Well, Culver's and caffeine are helping. I passed on the Lean Pocket, on the grounds that it's payday and I deserve a treat, even though tonight we're also getting Arby's. I'll be good tomorrow. My weight's holding steady; a treat can't hurt.
Now, the boys get Backyardigans, and I get cracking on the end of my research log.
(After I email maintenance. The place is being torn down in three months, but leaks in the dishwasher and apparently the garbage disposal are problematic enough we can't just say "fuck it" and wait it out.)
