[tri-med] Aus Alex starts High School

Well the master starts high school tomorrow - and the household is in disarray. 
He is excited and scared all at the same time :-))
Well we hope that he is starting tomorrow - tomorrow is the "teachers first 
day" and we are joining them so that they can meet Alex, ask any questions etc. 
We will find out then if the air conditioning is in - if its not he's not 
going!! The a/c is the only thing that wasnt in place last year before the 
summer holidays.

If all is well the taxi will collect him on Wednesday morning and take him to 
his "first" official day. The school seems great and best of all they have a 
farm attached so Alex can stay with his beloved animals. The sad part is that 
none of his friends are going to this high school so he knows no one. He will 
have one aide (three aides rotating) that has been with him since 1st class so 
hopefully she can help ease the transition. The other two are new and I wont 
meet them until tomorrow.

So for now four brand new uniforms are pressed and hanging in the wardrobe. We 
are checking his medical bag again for the hundredth time and I just pray that 
he gets some sleep tonight!! I so want this to go well. Think of us both - its 
going to be hard to let him go again after having him by my side 24/7 for the 
last 18 months.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
