We moved into Jeff and Susan's on Friday, October 25 after they left for a ten day trip to Durham, NC and then on to Honolulu, Hawaii for a conference for Susan and a few vacation days. I am so glad they can do this and that they trust us with Michael who is very self-sufficient but needs transportation and his food allergies do add a certain worry to our supervision of him. I don't want to accidentally expose him to eggs or dairy although we reviewed the use of an epipen and the need to call 911 afterward.
This morning was typical. Jim set an alarm, got up first, and reminded M to get going. Jim made sure I was awake but because I was fasting to do blood work, it didn't take long to get ready. We dropped M off at Princeton High School and joined the hundreds of others on the roads. I called the doctor's office to say we were stuck in traffic but they seemed unconcerned and of course, I still had to wait to give my blood. Afterwards, we headed up State Road 206 to Burger King to treat ourselves to French toast sticks for Jim and a sausage-egg biscuit for me. We missed it and got caught in endless traffic heading back between the three traffic lights along the way. But the breakfast was delicious after a fast in particular. We avoided the detour signs for road closings on SR 518 and went to our apartment for mail, laundry and showers. I took the car back into Kingston to practice the organ for an hour at Kingston Presbyterian Church. Jim worked in his study. 
We had lunch--even if the milk was sour and the chips bags were down to scraps. We don't have the hang of living in two places and find what we need (shaver, hair dryer, t-shirts) are often at the other place! I think in some ways, it is easier to pack for a 700 mile trip than a 4 mile trip!
