TUESDAY, November 3 – A crap morning. Eamonn sums up our feelings and he’s right. Just like yesterday, I pick him up at the end of the morning. When it comes to school, I’m not going to be difficult about it. We go downtown and buy him a winter coat. It’s even on sale. Yes, Jennifer, we can! Bet you didn’t know we were such good shoppers: a really neat coat and… the price was right.
MONDAY, November 2, 2009 – No fucking way, let’s get that on the record. Nobody’s going to get the better of us. This is Day One of our new life. From now on, it’s ‘the three of us’. Three guys who have to rely on each other. No idea how we’ll make out, but time will tell.
This morning Sander even joked about the situation. My cooking, to be precise. ‘You’re going to have to do something about your crispyness, Papa.’ I’ve been known to let food burn, and this is the euphemism I use when I claim that something is just the way I like it: crispy. We can laugh about it, and that’s a good beginning, fuck yeah!
