and so victor arrives at the other side of another holiday season. the shopping, the blue man party, the pre christmas shows, the christmas at aunt christine's, the drive home in the pouring rain, the christmas shows all ten of them, the 38th birthday, the new years eve's shows and blue man party, new years, more shows, jane's birthday, mother margaret's birthday, much to think about, much to do. much planning for an art installation with jane. getting the equipment and the sounds for the 'artic listening post'. a lot to do.... today ok, up real early, like 6:30 with bridge. getting bridge's situation together for school. he seems to have made another transition of late, one where he is thinking through crisis and frustration, realizing he can use his reason to reunderstand a situation and find a new option for being happy and making things work. he has repeated this behavior daily for the past 3 days. jane coming home from the bridge drop off becoming very upset that i did not inform her that i hadn't been able to clean the car since the cousins muddied it during the christmas event. the two of us managed a pretty good team getting it clean. something of an uninterrupted nap today, much needed, as it has been a fairly long stretch, and i could see the fatigue effecting my work. and tonight i could see the difference. been recommending the movie 'serenity' to everyone. and watching a download of the 2nd season of battlestar gallactica am more deeply amazed that firefly was not picked up.
