    Mickey wasn’t feeling good at work today (headache, hard time balancing, confusion) and asked me to pick her up after half the workday. We decided to try Teledoc and they told her to go to urgent care. I took her to urgent care after work (when I heard about the recommendation) and they sent her…

    I made sure to remind Mickey to go to the DI job interview and then after having out there for over half an hour trying to get the courage to talk to someone Mickey was told that all the managers were in a meeting at that time and Mickey was invited to come back tomorrow.…

    I was happy to hear Mickey announce tonight to Alex that she has a job interview at DI tomorrow. (He had made a comment along the lines of “get a job” which prompted her response.) That gave me an opening to ask for more details and better understand this next step but it feels like…

    Mickey got a call from the DI job training people today so now we can start moving forward there. Later Bex announced that the theater program at SUU accepted her into their program. It’s only been 3 days since the audition so that seems like a responding yes rather than a reluctant one.

    Alma talks to Corianton who has bought into an idea that the resurrection will bring paradise for everyone. I don’t know that the idea he was believing is any more wrong it dangerous than popular ideas that we see today such as the concept that we can be born into the wrong body. Of course…

    I couldn’t let I be forgotten that we briefly had a feral bird for a pet. This morning the kids called my attention to the cats looking at a bird. When I came to see i was surprised that the cats were looking at a bird standing on the deck only inches from them. Kylo…

    Laura told me that she had begun to feel unsettled about Alyssa’s queer identity and gay pride and then she thought about the contrast with Savannah preparing for a mission and she had the thought that she could not serve both masters – that she needed to choose whether she would follow the path of…

    Today we faced what had long seemed inevitable. Laura and I have talked many times about the is of having at least one child identify as gay. For quite some time in observing Alyssa I suspected that she might identify as LGBTQ in some way. Laura took her phone for not doing her work and…

    At the start of 2020 Alyssa was looking forward to the end of the year when she could say “hindsight is 2020.” Last night she reminded us of that aspiration about to come true. One of the first things i heard from her this morning was “some world leaders thought it was a bad idea…
