I spent a little time making a sign saying, "Hi Caitlin" and putting it up in front of the LakeCam so she (age 4) can see where I live from where she lives (Australia). You can just see it. It wobbles in the breeze. It won't fall off too quickly, I hope. I'd actually better reinforce the stress point soon.

Update on the book: the cripple grows up, and at one point he and his friend are tied up by an enemy. He crawls across the tent and licks his friend's wound clean.

It's not hot yet, but is going up up up and is forcast to be in the 90s in the week ahead.

E-Z E's job coach told me she didn't think E would lose her job but the supervisor is fed up with her problems. Uh... I am not sure what to think. I took E out last night to grocery shop, have dinner at Happy Teriyaki, ice cream at Baskin-Robbins, a drive out to my house with the top down and coats on. She's depressed. I told her the job coach had called me that morning about E's work problems, and E looked discouraged and said she couldn't stand it. I said I didn't wonder, and that I'd told the j. c. she was TRYING to do the right thing. E said, "Yes, that's right." The sky was dramatically streaked with hot pink clouds, and we kept exclaiming as we drove along. E saw a face, and when I looked I saw it too -- and another face as well! We sorted through photos and E took a big box home with her. Driving back she was glorying the sight of hundreds of stars. Tomorrow I'm taking her to a softball tournament -- then pick her up at some time to be determined by how many games they win/play, etc.
