  • Woke up crazy early and took Danny to the San Carlos school to take the first admissions test. I think he did well!! Fingers crossed.

  • Afterwards, took Danny for breakfast, and then picked up Lily’s cake, bought some electric tape, and paid a couple bills. Went home where I found Ben in a terrible mood. Spent some time talking to him, trying to figure out what was wrong.

  • J. and I went to Mom’s house to get things ready for Lily’s birthday party. Blew a lot of balloons, taped banners, etc. There were some tense moments with the entertainment people, who blew some lights in Mom’s house. J. went on a last minute run to Home Center to buy an extension cord so they could plug in the air blower for the bouncy castle. Crises averted.

  • Friends and family came for Lily’s party and a good time was had by all, especially Miss Lily. I would dare to call the party a success.

  • Got home totally knackered. Put leftovers in fridge and went to bed. Started to watch The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby but by the 30 minute mark I was falling asleep. Slept soundly, with just a brief late-night interruption^.
