We are leaving a little early

I am having my husband take me to work, so that after work we can pick up the van.
We are still undecided about taking it on the road trip, but we need to have it back at home anyway.
Today, I have the field trip. Part of the challenge for me is not the distance, but the understanding of the student I am accompanying. Oh, and the fact that he is a brittle type 1 diabetic, who is lactose intolerant and who has celiac disease. We have to be careful what snacks we take, but he must have snacks, a glucometer, etc along with us. We both have to take water. I have to explain carefully to him what is expected.
Time to go to work. I will see you sometime this evening.
We are pretty certain we will eat out.
The cat wants some special food for her as well, so we will shop.
Hope you are doing well.

I knew you were gone, and thought some of it was a problem with not having internet somewhere that you went. Glad to see you here. I just keep plugging along.

@GardenGerty Yes, I was without internet for some weeks and then continued neglecting myLot for some months. In recent years that seems to be the way it goes.

It is, and we were able to ride back in a car, check his glucose at school and snack appropriately.

@GardenGerty So it's safely over now. That's good. I think I would be mentally exhausted at the end of such an outing.

That is a lot of responsibility and I know they count on it.

It was supposed to be fixed last night, but was not. It leaves me feeling a little stressed.

@GardenGerty I hope that van had been fixed. I do agree that it will cause a bit stressful.

Nor I yours. It seems to be the niche I have fallen into, though.
