Still raining and still flooding... There is no doubt in my mind that the world already came to an end, and this is just the wind-down... It's breaking up all over the planet!
'Morning, all. Wet and drizzling day ahead. My heart goes out to those in the lower areas. A lot of roads have been closed off, bridges out, power off... We're lucky to live in the Heights. Just puddles around us. My water heater put out a good cup of "English Breakfast" tea from Bigalow's, and the stove turned on to fry up some eggs and ham, so I have to give thanks for that. We're going down the hill this morning to help fill sandbags around the elementary school. Trying to keep the water off the gym floor. The weather is supposed to clear tonight, but there is still a lot of run-off coming down from the mountains around Kyoto.

Definitely a day I'd go with Lapsang Souchong. Or in the morning, that Scottish Breakfast I got from Peet's that has a bit Lapsang Souchong in it.

The hubby leaves for work around 9 am, so he would end up in day care for 6 hours. I'll just have to go to bed earlier. The downside to that is less time with the hubby. Hopefully at three months Lucas will be sleeping longer at night so I can get enough sleep.
The other downside is paying for parking and gas with a longer commute. I don't think traffic will be bad at that hour of the morning or afternoon so the drive shouldn't be too bad. But my 6 mile commute is gone, for the time being.
I have inquired about positions closer to home with my current company and submitted an application with another company who has positions in the area. I gave me resume to a friend who works with a company at the old location. Here is hoping something comes from that.
Water for me, formula for Lucas. A couple of times a day he will breast feed for 15 minutes but normally he seems to breast feed for 5 minutes and then want his bottle. I am going to try the boob after the bottle and see what happens.

I hope you're able to find a reasonable solution closer to home. Having worked for ~15 years at a 1 hour each way drive, I know what a toll it takes over time. Good luck!
In my cup: Peet's
Pride of the Port for a change. A bit rounder and mellower than my usual Anniversary Breakfast Blend, but still quite nice. And with a definite bite at the end.
