Memos to self

[edg]

• Learn to write with child around. (Substitute "work", "packing", or "school" for "child" as time-appropriate.)


• Convince child to adjust to an Eastern-Time schedule. (This is compounded by his bedtime being later than mine.)


• Do not decide that you're not good enough to deserve love. (Even if "I'm just keeping you from the happiness you deserve" happens to have been true in at least two cases.)


• Figure out how to convince your brain that you're not 16 years old anymore, and shouldn't be reacting like a 16-year-old.
