3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Easter Monday has been declared "Easter Funday" in the Blonder house, which effectively means "Easter Slobday", involving sitting around watching TV and eating chocolate - and we will all enjoy it immensely! 

With the other two not emerging until 10am when I wake them, there will be me-time aplenty to blog and contemplate. Home has returned to being a palace of bliss, where the three people living here love and care about each other. Son, though with a sociopathic view of the world typical of male Blonders, fills the house with wonderful music and comedy and is for the most part a joy.

There will be challenges ahead, but for today I will simply focus on, relish and savour the joy of a happy home, living my life my way.
