Days like this...

Dear Nicky,

There was no Stones today, due to a teacher convention, so you were here all day with your nanny. You really seem to like her, and she adores both you and Junie. Anyway, I went off to try and renew my license. Turns out I needed more ID than I had, so I came home, after first taking the wrong ramp off the highway and thereby being forced to take the slow way home. Then I thought I'd be smart and head farther west to another DMV office, thinking it would be better run and less crowded. It did look better run, but it was still crowded so I left early because I was expecting the electrical guy, who was on time and did a nice job fixing the light fixture I broke last weekend, and after he left it was almost time for your speech therapist, with whom you did very well today. You guys also went for a walk today, which was great because it was a beautiful day. Then I went to the dermatologist and had a couple weird spots on my pelt biopsied. It's most likely nothing, but one must be sure of things on one's skin. Then I came home and made you some dinner, but you wouldn't eat it from me, only your nanny. So she fed you while I took out the recyclables. Shortly thereafter Mom put you to bed. So that's it. It was a good day for you, and for me it wasn't as productive as it should have been, but hanging with you makes every day a good day.

Love,
Dad
