More about the morning ….
The story of our morning is continued in mia_mcdavid‘s LiveJournal.
Later ….
Mia sleeps on….Good. Tom had some more breakfast, and had been watching various videotapes. I am trying to persuade him to go to the car–it would be good to get him out of the house
Sleeping in shifts
Tom got up at 5:30 AM today. He does this from time to time (especially on weekends!) mia_mcdavid tried to get him back to sleep, but it did not work. Since he cannot be left alone, one of us has to be up with him. Hence Mia stayed up. I got up around 7:30, and so Mia went back to bed, and I am monitoring Tom. It is my turn.
He is currently watching his favorite scenes from Toy Story for the umpteenth time, alternating that with knocking on our (locked) bedroom door. He much prefers Mommy to Daddy. Too bad. He is stuck with me.
We have a computer upstairs, so I am able to write this entry while on duty. It is a P-166–utterly obsolete, but adequate for e-mail and most LJ tasks.

Unusual Event
I went through my blocked (spam) e-mail folders this morning. There were actually four msgs that I wanted to read, from three different senders (none commercial). All were legitimately sent to me for one reason or another. I whitelisted two of the senders–not that the 3rd is evil, I just may not have enough time for their mail.
This is unprecedented. Usually I go for weeks without finding a msg improperly blocked. And even then a lot of spam gets through.
Getting Tom home
Respite winding down
The weekend is coming to an end. About an hour from now I will drive to Camp Eden Wood and pick up Thomas. I have not done nearly as much as I wanted to do, but I have done a few things I could not possibly do while taking care of him. Not the least of these is getting plenty of sleep.
And a couple hours after Tom gets home mia_mcdavid will return as well. I suppose she is somewhere around Madison now. I am really looking forward to that.
Saturday
This morning I went to a workshop on conversational Irish. I was in the session for absolute beginners, for which I certainly qualify. The workshop was put on by Gaeltacht Minnesota, the local Irish language organization. It was very interesting and extremely well done. I hope to learn more Irish in the coming year, although scheduling constraints are going to limit me at least for a while.
I had thought about working on some projects after getting home, but after lunch I found the call of a nap to be irresistable. Got up about 4:30, after which James and I went to a pleasant supper at Church. We browsed at the local Barnes & Noble after that, then went home.
