    Laura is recognizing today the signs of stagnation. She has no direction (although she can hope for the role in 1776); she has had virtually no social schedule the past couple of weeks; she is getting shorter of temper on those brief occasions when she interacts with the kids; and she feels that her therapist…

    The kids’ long weekend is over. Alyssa is going back to school after being “sick” for a week. (I think she started sick the first day or two and then it was just emotionally not ready to accept that she want actually physically ill anymore.) Laura is finished with preparing for auditions. Hopefully we can…

    I hadn’t expected it this week but I was announced as a primary worker in sacrament meeting today. Brother Moore told me that they decided it made more sense to include Noah in my class along with Enoch and Ezra and that neither Turville has accepted the call to serve with me. Adventure awaits. After…

    I got everything in place to be able to have Alyssa get counseling with Dr. Empey like Isaac does. I feel like we have a chance to help her get her feet under her emotionally. Laura auditioned for the role of Abigail Adams in 1776 at Centerline Legacy Theater today. She can home positively bubbly…

    Laura came over late this morning to take Alyssa doing and deliver the date she promised for Emma yesterday. She ended up leaving without doing either and it took her most of the day before she started to feel somewhat more emotionally stable. Her natural inclination is to blame the problems from yesterday but I’m…

    After a few days of chance and a couple of days of improvement, today Laura genuinely and excitedly wanted to talk to me. A good conversation we had last night had both fruit in her interactions today with Tamara Adamson. She feels like she had some traction and some idea of what we wanted and…

    Even I went to drop off a yoga block to Laura tonight we got taking about her work on the Romania Pratt play and he to seek out and what the central message was. She actually came to snuggle with me despite me being slightly sick.

    After the failure that was my visit with Laura last night I decided that the was no reason to go over today just to go over. I would go over if the was a reason, otherwise I would tend to things at home. People were fractious all evening. Enoch and Isaac kept after each other…

    I’ve noticed for days (Saturday sleepover notwithstanding) that the connections between Laura and I have been fading. When I go to visit we have very little to say to each other. We picky through minutia and then exist until I leave. She has no interest in intimacy right now and there’s little that we can…

    I got a new task at work today. Steve asked me to be the primary support for FlowCal and become Jeannie Yerkavich’s go-to support resource. I think that will prove to be a good thing for me. Tonight it became clear to me how important it is for Laura to have direction in how she…
