My kid's school suddenly announced an earlier closure to the school year due to rising temperatures yesterday. When TO found out about it, the joyous whoop he let out probably was audible a few blocks over. So this is Day One of summer break 2022 and Mr.Zombie-During-School-Days got up on his own before 6 am,... Continue Reading →
The Dementia Diagnosis
One of Red's cousins will be visiting us soon and I was telling TO about him. He'll be meeting a brand new set of cousins and an aunt he's not seen before so I was trying to give him some background while we set out for errands this morning. This uncle of his is a... Continue Reading →
Let’s Catch Up

Apparently if you deny a child... Continue Reading →

While Google was showing us a shorter option, Red did his due diligence and found a route that was slightly longer but... Continue Reading →
Road Trip: Day One

TO luckily has his spring break starting today...and yes while it *is* a funny concept in Hyderabad where we have Hot, Wet and Cold as the primary seasons; it's a good opportunity for us to plan getaways. TO diving into the bag of snacks within... Continue Reading →
