Day off, and mostly errands.  Jackie staying home after going to school and he getting quite upset, and the stretched ineptness of the school’s staff forced me to concede to the VP or whatever her title that I’m not comfortable and Jackie’s coming home with me.  And I’m glad I did, as he now plays and talks to his sister, laughs and snacks and colors in a legal pad I gave him a few weeks ago.

xmas gifts, shopping in a minute—  Don’t want to face the ravenous consumer hoards, but I have to I’m afraid.  I’ll gather some content, some story while on my outing, but I’m not sure what.  I’ll let the story gift me something.
