on the homefront

They haven't started the Pit to augment things yet, so I sent Joe home to take care of our extrauterine kid. Hopefully he'll at least have a chance to stuff in some dinner and get Cal at least ready for (if not into) bed before anything real starts happening here. Cal's first day back at school is tomorrow, and to say that he's been off his schedule is...something of an understatement. I told Joe I would call if things looked like they were going faster than expected, but I think we'll be OK. We live a fifteen minute walk from the hospital--two minutes by car.
