The school board voted last night that our district will resume in-person instruction on October 20. Andrew was very pleased, and Thomas cheered when he heard. I feel a little sad about the change in our routine, but I do think it is a good thing. Sadly, no matter what, it is divisive in our community. Either way the vote had gone, people were going to be unhappy, and in some cases, down right angry. I do think the time is right though. I am a little sad that I won't get to be a part of the school this year, but I'm not unhappy in my current situation.
Andrew is also. heading back to his parents today. Because of the issues with our sweet pup, Thomas is staying home to be with her. Andrew's dad is being discharged from the hospital today, and his mom is insisting he be sent home rather than to skilled nursing. She feels skilled nursing will lead to a rapid decline and kill him. While I don't disagree, I believe she is also overly optimistic about his overall status, and I don't think he has much longer as it is. I'm not sure he'll be here at Thanksgiving given the rate of his decline in the last year. I keep my mouth shut though. It isn't my place. Anyway, Andrew will return on Saturday, at least that is the current plan.
Overall, I feel most of these things are positives, and that is good for today!
