January 19

Christina’s at a party, so I decided to visit a new-to-me park nearby. It’s pretty small and I didn’t quite get a full sunset, but it was peaceful and I appreciate that. It’s also a little chilly! But I also appreciate that. I am still bumblefooting my way around parenthood, which is emotional and taxing. For everyone. Today we were supposed to meet Rosina and Dion for dinner, but Rosina wasn’t feeling well, so the four of us went out on our own. Nowhere too special, but there were milkshakes and a game of Poop that embarrassed the – well, poop – out of both of them. I know I’m trying to build trust, but sometimes embarrassing your kids is irresistible. Back to work tomorrow after a three-day weekend that felt more like five minutes than three days. So it goes.
