Long term

I've been away for work, not far and only for three days, but it makes a nice change. I'm loving it.

Husband texted me morning greetings.
Son rang home and then me.
Daughter rang home.

So I rang them.

Both children (children still?) are low. There's a lot of work, little time, people to cope with and daughter is off colour with a headache. Headache slows down writing the 300 word French essay. Fortunately, it's nice to know that step daughter #3 is feeling smug about understanding a lecture on structural analysis.

It's nearly the end of term, and I fetch one home in ten days, the other the next week and SD #3 will be back for Christmas.
