Chapter 29

On the way back, I felt refreshed. I didn't really understand what the dream meant but I decided not to dwell on it. Instead, I focused on the renewed energy running through my veins, the same energy the oak had. When I made it home, I picked up silver watercress from the garden. She had indeed a good sense of humour. I then forced myself to go to bed for a few more hours and after a few nights, my sleep was finally peaceful.

I woke up early enough to make the kids breakfast and packed lunch. I knew they were old enough to do it themselves, even if Lee-Ann didn't agree, but I find breakfast preparation oddly calming. Call me boring, but I love some of the routines.
