My happiest moment(s) today:

Adam and I woke up rested and got bagels and fruit at the marina. Then off to seaworld.

We has breakfast with Shamu. But that’s really a generic name, Corky was the one that we watched while we are. Adam was impressed and the far off shows later didn’t hold his interest.

We did all the little kid rides twice and he was dragging. Walked the park and saw sea lions and dolphins and all that stuff.

By 3:30 he was out for a 3 hour nap, in the car. I stopped by the SD house and it’s still a good house. A little overgrown but a good house.

Then because of the time of day a trip up the 15 to get home. I talked to She’ll on the way home too. We caught up – it was nice and it passed the time.

My happiest moment(s) today:

We’re in San Diego to check on the house we stayed overnight.

At the hotel we swam – first time ever. It took a little coaxing but Adam went down the water slide. And then I couldn’t stop him. He really got onto it but since he cannot swim its a lot if work for me. I have no problems eating more food after hours of that.

That night we had a nice dinner. But we missed aunt shell since he back is bothering her.

Afterwards we walked the docks and saw boats. One fishing boat welcomed us aboard and Adam helped them clean. He really loves boats – who knew ?!?

Slept great -from 9:30 to 7:00.

My happiest moment today:

Mental health day was a success. I had the day off for a little hope and although a long shot I have an opportunity. I mowed the lawn and donated items to habitat for humanity.
Then I took AAA to dinner by the Gold Line. Not a bad night.

I got rested up. I’m still a bit tired but took the opportunity to rest.

Read a post from about a young man wanting to walk to school.

It made me think how Adam has slowly begun changing my from “daddy” to “dad”. It’s funny how I’m resisting this, or rather, don’t want to lose the tender baby-like qualities. But yet he is growing up.

My happiest moment today:

The day started shaky but ended good. Adam is in one of his phases as a 3 year old. Even at the park he was whiny and cry baby.

So my happiest moments started when Emily came today. Then I saw my friend and realtor Shelly for some iced tea and chatter. I got a great mirror for my room afterwards. I put up the sink for the new bath and that made me really happy. ( I found it at architectural salvage in LA a few weekends ago) I also had a nice dinner with Adam so things felt better.

Me: “I’m grumpy today”. AAA: “no you a good dad”

Feeling guilty for being a tired, cranky man.

My happiest moment today:

Got an email that gives me some hope. I’ve been actively praying. Yes, I said it, praying.

My happiest moment today:

Right now, 8 PM on a summer night. Under the covered patio, with the lights and a light breeze breeze. Adam riding his tricycle and the crickets chirping.

I did good both with the idea, the cost and now it’s our outdoor family room. Perfect moment.
