Work
On the work front, I had some devastating news. Okay, I still have a job but the debacle over the summer with the COO cost me 20% of my bonus this year. I have to think that this isn't a good fit for me. So in spite of my advice to others and hearing good advice from others, I started looking. And it made me tired to think of getting comfortable at another place. And I don't really want to leave the current project I am on.
AWB
Making big progress but did not poop for 3 solid days. Both Wong Auntie and I were concerned. And she had diaper rash. Two days in a row, no nap but konks out at 6:30pm. She sings "Happy Birthday" really really well. We walked together to school today and she went along happily.
I visited Lesley Ellis and I really was very impressed. I hope we can swing it financially.
HKB
Exhausted still and sad. I mentioned his dad's comments about the "March of the Penguins" and he asked me not to talk about it. I'm almost crying as I write this memory of his comments. HKB's dad wasn't at all impressed or moved by the documentary. He said in a kind of exasperated tone, "They are penguins, that is what they do". Once he said that, I kind of thought that the movie was a bit pointless.

Back from California
I wrote the post and then the next day HKB's father passed away. And we hvae been away and so sad for the last two weeks. He passed away that night. And we were heart broken for that lost and still are.
We flew out on Friday after the holiday and were immediately part of the whirlwind of planning for his memorial service. I can hardly believe that he is gone since he has always been the looping, healthy tall man in our lives. There were an enormous amount of people at his service and HKB's mom made sure that everyone knew about his obituary.
I am tired. Tired and fatigued about this life of ours.

My girl had such a wonderful time in Huntington Beach. Older kids to play with, smiles for both grandmothers and chatting about everything. She is now saying "This is..." and mimicing us regularly.
