It is 100% denouement however for her hitting this milestone. She is mature beyond her years and has been "18" for a long time. Same as last year when she turned 17, she had felt 17 for at least a couple of years. Last night we were joking at dinner, and I said something about next year when she is 25....
Nothing big planned for today since she already got her b-day present (and grad and for the next few and several past birthdays!) but I have one of her favorite dinners planned and we we open her Time Capsule too. I feel horrible, Scott's had so much stuff in his, while hers is quite sparse. Second Child Syndrome, plus Postpartum Depression, made it hard for me collect things like I did for Scott. But there still some things in there and iy is what it is. She knows that it won't be the same and knows the reasons why and is cool with it.
Yesterday was another Bust of a Day. Our appt with the LLMD was at 11.45, so we left here at 10.45. We ended up waiting for an hour and a half. We know she runs late, b/c she always spends so much time with her patients and one rough patient who needs more time will get it. We have been the ones causing that issue for other people, and we understand. OTOH-- I am sooooo done with waiting! But I brought a book- the new Joe Hill, so that worked out ok. I felt bad for Gary who doesn't read and can only spend so much time on his cellphone looking at FB.
She spent well over an hour with both of us too. She is concerned with me, since my hands are getting weaker every visit, but was happy to hear that I had a run of some decent days until this last bout of chaos hit. Gary- he has been off abx since last Dec and his slide down was very apparent. She took 16 vials of blood and his vein almost gave out at the end.
We called the garage on our way out since it was 2.30 at this point, car was being worked on but not done b/c the first starter that was sent, didn't fit so they had to get a second one. That was a bummer since the garage is on the way home, and is 15 minutes away from the house. We get home at 3.30- and the kids are having a discussion, some Brendan/house/family stuff that has been brewing for a while. We start a discussion, and wouldn't you know- 5 mins later, the garage calls, the car is ready. We get in the car, go down to get it and get back home at 4.30. throw leftover in the microwave and continue the family discussion.
The WORST part of this-- I am on Tindamax AKA abx from Hell and can't have alcohol. No glass of wine after dinner for me.
:hurt:
But today is another day- I am off to food shop, and then Dirt Therapy!
Have a fab day my lOves!!!!

That is too bad that you had to wait so long for your appt. yesterday, hopefully this round of Tindamax is not too bad for you, it really sucks that you can't have a glass of wine :becky: Hopefully you have some spark of creativity come to you over the next day or so, doing the page with Mason's pictures really did make me smile!
