Day 1709. Before going to bed last night, I checked again what it would take to go to our friend's funeral today on public transportation. Tuesday is the only day of the week where the kids don't have a class, and it was unusual for me not to have any students on Tuesday afternoon. I couldn't imagine being home doing office work while Sonja's funeral was going on and I could have been there.

Day 1708. Today Sammy stayed home from kindergarten so that Randy only took the other two to their kindergarten. He returned at 9:45 and left with Sammy at 10 am to take him to his horse therapy session. I was busy tidying up as the cleaning lady was there to clean our house. Before I knew it, it was nearly 11:45, and Randy and Sammy were already coming home.

Day 1707. We could have slept a little longer, but this morning they were all up early, even Tammy. Eventually I got up as well and got everyone ready to leave the house. We left at 9:15 to catch the 9:30 train, which would allow us to just about make it to our 10 am swim class. It was a sunny and warm day, as we walked to the train station.
