well after what turned out to be quite a long week, i am glad to say it is friday. and don and i have mended our misunderstandings and are getting along well. and rye seems to be doing ok and seems firmly planted back on earth now.
whew.
don, rye and i went out for a nice dinner last night. rye is still a bit antsy and irritable but he seems to be leveling out as we pull back on some of the pressures he had on him and just let him be (he is on a travel sports team and we are backing off for now). i often forget when he has done well for a long time that he does have limitations and pressure really effects him and i tend to want to pile on more pressures as i think he can handle it. but then i get reminded loud and clear that this is not the case. generally when he is doing well he is doing well due to lack of stress and pressures. so, duly noted. and adjustments being made.
we have some fun stuff planned for this weekend for all of us, independently and together. so, things to look forward to.
i’m glad rye is ok.
i worry about him. even when i convince myself i don’t. i do. i can’t help it. i just really, really love that kid.

You bring up a good point about stability and low stress. I need to keep that in mind.
