Jack has been with us since Tuesday night.  It's all blurring together.  He's such a sweet little boy but he's such a little boy.  He has so much energy and he's two so he's busy asserting his independence, both of which can be exhausting.  

This morning we took him to the zoo, to see some animals and to run off some energy.  Mission accomplished;  he's sleeping on the couch behind me with the fan on.

His best buddy right now is his poppa which can be hard on a poppa because everybody needs time to themselves.  Poppa is sleeping right now on the livingroom couch.

It's still hot here but the temperature has dropped to something that is manageable.  It's only supposed to be 28C today and I can live with that.  

Nothing much else going on.  Still haven't heard back from my daughter.  That young woman can hold a grudge but that's on her.  I did reach out to her and she ignored me.  

My son hasn't contacted me either which is lovely.  His wife is due this month.  I have no idea if they're still together or not.  I doubt it.  I feel so sad for his wife but I am not getting involved.

I sent my spit off to 23 and me, for genetics testing, out of curiosity.  Turns out I have more neanderthal genes than 75% of the people who use 23 and me.  Not really a surprise there.  My ancestors were into cross border shopping, so to speak.

I also found out that I am 98.8% English and Irish.  Again no surprise.  I'm at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.  My father, brother and one sister all have type 2 diabetes.

What did surprise me is that I have 1500 cousins.  Hopefully this is not in my future:)
