Having Cordelia's appointment at 3:00 instead of 1:00 works better in a lot of ways. I don't have to rush to get myself fed in less than half an hour, and I don't have to pack a lunch for Cordelia (she's no longer willing to eat pickles). I even have a little time to relax between when I finish at the library at about 11:15 and when I pick Cordelia up at 1:50.

Both cabs today were on time. We shared the outbound cab, picking someone up at the Dental School and dropping them off more or less on the way to our appointment. We still had thirty-five minutes to wait between when we arrived and when the appointment started.

I talked to the social worker about trying to figure out more opportunities for Cordelia and me to sleep away from home. evalerie has offered to host us, but I don't think Cordelia remembers meeting evalerie or any member of her family. That might make the whole thing too difficult. I hesitate to impose on Scott's sister again, and both Cordelia and her cousin have very busy weekends for the foreseeable future. Cordelia has indoor soccer, and her cousin has forensics. I suppose a Saturday night might work. Most of the competitions are on Saturdays. Of course, then we have to pack dress cloths so that we can go to church with them. Scott's parents are going to be gone until the 27th or so, and they're still trying to sort out the question of Scott's father's surgery.

We got home just before the cleaning lady left. I had about half an hour to relax before I had to get dinner for Cordelia. She was really looking forward to practice. She seemed less than thrilled when she got home, but part of that seemed to be a reluctance to take her scheduled shower. I suspect, though, that with seventeen girls in an elementary school gym, there's not a lot of scrimmaging going on, and she dislikes drills.

I did find out, from a YouTube video the coach put together, that each team fields four players plus the goalie. That makes nine players pretty much the perfect number if the coach can switch players in the middle of each quarter. (Of course, we might not be playing with quarters. Outdoor soccer plays halves at the fifth grade level.)

Could Cheryldactyl host a sleepover? Just a thought.

I'll have to ask her. She won't see this entry because she doesn't stop by LJ any more. I also need to ask her what animals they've got. If they've got a cat, it won't work because I won't be able to tolerate more than a couple of hours in their house.

I think they still have one cat, but I could be mistaken. I know they have a rabbit.

Thanks for the information!

I'm allergic to rabbits, too. (I'm allergic to pretty much every non-human mammal I've encountered. How badly varies.) I don't know if that would be a deal breaker for me because I've not tried spending a lot of time around a rabbit.

When the weather's better, is there any chance to take her on a special trip away? Maybe for a milestone occasion, or to celebrate the fact that she's growing up, something like that.

It's a possibility. I just don't know where to go. The point is to have her sleep in a different room than I do, so a hotel or tent wouldn't work.
