Grocery store trip--not much except top-ups of fruit and veg since we already have too much of everything. And no Nu "treats."
Watering my plants--and no Nu to come find me for long talks about life, the universe, and everything.
Dinner time--we'll have to figure this one out. Do we still set the table when it's just me and Big A? Do we eat at the kitchen counter?
Bedtime--no hug-kiss-chat. There's still family chat, thankfully.
Pic: Max is feeling a bit extra clingy with Big these days too.

Thinking of you as you adjust to a new (“Nu”? :)) normal!
You are an excellent and loving mom and the current evolution of your family doesn’t take anything away from that truth!
Are there any dishes that you and Big A enjoy eating, but any didn’t like?

Sending hugs! That is such a big adjustment for all of you! I think you should still set the table for you and Big A - unless it is something you didn’t enjoy doing and you’d prefer a really relaxed dinner.
Thinking of you, friend!! Xoxo
Oh, I remember these transitions when the boys left home. For a long time, I continued cooking for four! Everything sort of gradually worked itself out. We did things in a far more relaxed way, just the two of us.
I smiled and smiled reading that you made a couple of return trips for things that Nu forgot. I'd have done the same, and would have taken along some things not even asked for. (Just in case, you know.)
