Lughnasa Labor Day Moon
Jon and Jen brought Ruth and Gabe up last night. They’ll be here today, then Tuesday night and Wednesday, Thursday night and Friday. The breaks are so Gabe can go home and get his infusion of factor to get him through the day without joint bleeds due to his hemophilia. It’s a disease you have to pay attention to, but not one you want to make an obsession, though it would be easy to do so.
Today Kate has made a sewing tutorial for Ruth which they’ll work with until 11:30 or so when we leave for Idaho Springs, lunch, and then Georgetown, loop railroad. After the railroad we drive them back to Denver, eat a meal out, then drive home ourselves.
On Monday Kate will go in and pick up Ruth and Gabe from Schweigert elementary. They have a half day of school. She’ll be with them in the afternoon.
Jen’s excited about her new job as teacher partner. It involves work only with teachers, no classroom work for her. She runs a teacher resource center and provides feedback and support to teachers. She had to go through an interesting interview process, two hours in length and in multiple formats, just to qualify for the job.
The sun, emerging now at 6:16 am, lights up Black Mountain, puffy cumulus clouds scud over its peak. We had rain storms again yesterday afternoon and last night. Lots and lots of water. Repairs will be needed for at least two of our skylights. Another matter to coordinate.
