Olivia got her 1st computer today. She is fascinated with all things electronic and we figured the only way to keep her off the computers that we were working on was to provide the mother of all diversions. Apparently it does some cool stuff, no one has read the instructions yet.
We spent the day in Alameda -- where some friends are buying a condo. I hadn't been there for a few years, when I'd once taken Sadie to a dog run in a nice park with some water to dip her paws in. We went to this same park and Sadie did exactly as she did last time: zilch. Stood staring around a bit then found a dust patch to lie in. SO glad we drove all this way to provide this particular experience.
In some way being here is as if I just hit fast forward on the tape. Like when you skip a few episodes of a series and for a few minutes you're saying to yourself "Wait, she's married? Where'd the kid come from? Ok, apparently she must be doing a different kind of work than before." But pretty much you can find the plot.
So I keep expecting that I will catch up with this plot and that there are more intervals of happiness, or calm, or whatever it is that makes for boring TV shows but satisfying lives, soon to come.
