The A/C guy...

Dear Nicky,

This morning two substitutes picked you up for your ride to school. They seemed nice enough, and you seemed fine this afternoon. After you left, I dropped off Junie a little early to her school because the man from the heating-cooling company was coming to check our system and put new filters in, etc. He was here a long time, so I hope that means he was very thorough. Afterward, I picked up Junie and we drew in the driveway for a while, then Laurie came and I went to the gym, then my doctor's appointment, then for a coffee and some donuts, then for some comic books. When I got home you guys were so glad to see me you came running over and gave me lots of hugs and kisses. You had some veggie nuggets for dinner, then went to bed under duress, but you soon settled down into sleep.

Love,
Dad
