Hi Donna,

Consider last week a trail run. You have the lay of
the land now, you know what you're up against. If it
was failure, it was a failure that bought you
something.

As for timing the next assault, it's a tough call.
Tough times come, and you have to weather them, but
though times may not be the best times for new
beginnings. My suggestion is take it one day at a
time. Don't burden yourself with a huge macro goal
while all this stuff is going on with your son. If one
good day leads to another, great. If you run into
trouble, consider it more reconnaissance.

Or, if you *know* you're not going to make it given
what's going on with your son right now, give yourself
a bit of a breather. Give yourself the rest of this
week just to observe, maybe trying a little bit, but
mostly expecting to fail and paying attention to when
and how it happens. Then go in hard core on Monday,
slashing out days and taking no prisoners.

Best wishes for you and your son,

Reinhard
