rose: since kindergarten is voluntary, i'm only sending eamon to school monday through thursday. so i really enjoyed my day with him and otis around town and at home. i took them to artillery park, but it was closed for maintenance. thankfully i had the car, and hadn't ventured down there on the bus for no reason.

thorn: i get discouraged easily, and it doesn't take much to make me second guess myself. thankfully, i also get encouraged easily. but the discouraged part is hard.
