Woosh! Sounds busy. Hope it's going well.

On a total tangent, I've a question that's been nibbling at me for ages: how come you write the child instead of my child?

It started out well, but just about everyone in my household seems to have a mild cold right now, which cut into my energy level. We cleaned the living room, but I ended up spending most of the day reading. Which isn't bad, but not as productive as I had hoped to be.

As for The Child instead of my My Child. . . It's a semi-conscious decision to acknowledge that she belongs to herself and to her father as well as to me.

Ah, okay, I see - very different than the association I got (which didn't make sense) - slightly distancing and derogatory, like how some guys say "the wife" (similar to 'the chair') instead of "my wife"!

Words...
