Flattening the learning curve...
This week has flown by. My daughter is still working and rushing around. I don't think she's slowed down one bit, just switched to meeting online or zooming between her zooming around outside.
Lots of people are still living in this house - but they've been here weeks before c.v. I try to reassure folks that they're probably in the safest house in Atlanta: my daughter, the healer that she is, has all sorts of herbs and supplements and food to make us strong.
She makes us a green drink every night that has fresh aloe and something else in it. Plus she makes a garlic, lemon, honey, cayenne concoction every couple days. Then there's oil of oregano and another nasty tasting herb concoction we're swallowing.
I take my trusty vitamin c also and I'm able to make my organic drink - plenty of electricity to run the blender, and plenty of refrigerator space to store the drink - as well as my organic veggie miso soup with kemp noodles.
Mujasi has been in school all week but it is VERY challenging. Of course my daughter doesn't have the time to explain the drill to me but Jasi & I have kinda worked it out. If only the internet wouldn't drop the connection, if only the meeting room was able to let him in, if only there was a class(es) able to complete with screen time...i.e. naruto and spy kids, etc. not to mention race car games...
It's hard to gauge how scared he is, if scared at all. He presents more as angry, complaining he wants to see his friends, face-to-face - but loving how much he can get away with watching the screen.
I've tried interviewing him in the a.m. over breakfast for future children of america...hahaha. He complied a couple of times but now he doesn't want to. I'll keep trying.
So he asks - and I ponder - is it really necessary to do things that he doesn't like doing? What is it children need and will need to face post-c.v. life? How much do I push him, how much do I allow him mere pleasure? How much I want to know how to arm him with what he needs to create a new life post c.v.? I guess I've always been trying to know that but now the consideration that we might all - or some of us - be dead before we get the chance to rebuild, what is important now?
