Quickly, before bed.

The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with.

Five flat months during which she stopped caring, which she counts as progress.

Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever.

Kids are up. Going.
