I picked A. up at school. She was in a good mood, and after I got her home and we talked for a while, she was completely okay with going with the sitter. Yay!
I walked with M. I also did the short loop twice by myself, once before walking with M. and once later on, after A. went with the sitter but before T. came home.
T.'s sitter did not come today, because T. and one other person had tickets to go see Queen and Adam Lambert at TD Garden. That was going to be me, because we're sort of concert buddies at this point, however, A. really doesn't like it when I'm not there for the night time routine, and her mood has been Not Great lately, so R. went to Paparazzi and the concert with T. and I picked up A. from the sitter and then we hung out until bed time.
Dutch was canceled; instructor recently moved and is dealing with water in the basement. Ugh!
I read _Wildfire_, the latest Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy novel. I really liked it and
HEY SPOILERS! Victoria Tremaine will come crack your brain if you keep reading! Or something.
We finally find out the identity of Caesar (I think) in the epilogue. He isn't named, but the implication is pretty clear. Hard to imagine this being the last book in the series, but so far at least, it is being presented as a trilogy. OTOH, it would be quite easy to set up another novel or series of novels within the universe, that continued to overall arc with Caesar's conspiracy.
Anyway. This novel _does_ reveal all kinds of great stuff, like, Nevada learns how to use more magic, including her hereditary spells. We meet Victoria Tremaine in some detail, and there's some slightly horrifying backstory on how Nevada's dad came into existence, and how his kids were so powerful in such varied ways when he was a "dud". Rogan's ex-fiancee is right at the center of this story, and there's just a wonderful unfolding plotline about how someone with her massive empathic powers could be so horrendously taken advantage of because she just won't actually do anything for herself. (Good news: she does finally wake up.)
