Today definitely had elements of hard for sure, like the Starbucks barista who asked what fun things I had planned for Father's Day. Overall though, it was manageable, I guess is the best word. We were a little out of the norm as DS had a competition where he was judging the young kids, competing as an assistant with two of the older girls who don't have partners and then performing a showdance with his own partner. Lots to focus on other than what today meant.
When we got home, both kids went out with friends / boyfriend or girlfriend, so the dogs and I watched a Guy's Grocery Game marathon - good mindless distraction. I think I'm just grateful that we made it through. I gave the kids their personal photo books of them with DH today. I'd had them made when I did the one for his Celebration but held on to the personal ones until now.
Now we turn our attention to studying for exams (DD asked if she could get a tutor to help her study, so that's in the works for this week.) Also, preparing for DS's next competition in Montreal in a couple of weeks, so a lot of driving to training as well as shopping and organising for the trip. We're going to lease a current model of the car I'm interested in to see what I think of it over a few days, plus save some wear on my van which is on it's last legs. The kids have never been to Montreal so we're looking forward to it.
I'm finding it easier to talk about him IRL now. Some people set me off, but mostly I'm managing to not break down. Thanks for all of you still following and supporting. It means so much!
