I wasn’t sure what I was going to do all evening by myself, but the kids took care of that, spending 90 minutes on FaceTime with me after dinner. They all seem to be hanging in while I’m away.

First day of a work-related road trip. I have probably not been as invested as I should be. But I had a nice meal with Sarah and Q and that’s two in-person meals with Q in one year so I win!

When we tried to install a Ring doorbell by ourselves and shorted it out within an hour, I called an electrician to install it for us. He quoted us $915. So Billy bought a $25 part and goddamn it, we did it ourselves. So far it’s still working and the house hasn’t burned down, so I say we take the leftover $890 and have a party!

It was a pretty good day. I’m definitely digging the pool time. A highlight was homemade meatball heroes in front of the TV and angel food cake with Cool Whip and strawberries for dessert. It’s pretty amazing what good food can do for the soul.

I had a rough day, often finding myself thinking very hard but still unable to formulate a clear thought. I spent a lot of time staring at blank screens, trying to figure out behaviors, wanting to go out somewhere but having no idea where to go or what to do. In the end we watched SpongeBob and played Brain Test on Robin’s iPhone. Considering all that went into making that happen… it could definitely have been worse.

The best part of my day was when Robin joined us to play the Harry Potter game after dinner. Maybe one of these days I won’t even have to bribe her to join us.

The pool at the Y finally opened for the season, so I used my day off from work to go with the girls. Life calls for more pool days!

Christina came into my office saying her ramen got burnt. I asked if she put in enough water and her hand went straight to her forehead. Came into the kitchen to find this. The photograph does not capture the SMELL.

Robin did her first tumbling in about a month. Her back handspring needs a little work. She landed on her face more times than not… but she’ll get it. It was good to see her back at it.

Father’s Day was a little bit of everything. More tie dye because I am crazy, food shopping, which included a checkout lane scramble to get ground beef for lunch, Harry Potter game that put Robin into the depths of despair, amazing french toast for dinner, and Robin Hood Men in Tights to top it off. If only the Yankees could have won too.

On a bit of a whim, we went to a Jumbo Shrimp game. They lost, but it was fun! The weather was surprisingly nice – not too hot at all, even with the sun in our faces for the first three innings. It was nice to have some family time.

I am so glad the weekend is finally here. This week has felt so long. Mostly I just want to sleep past 8am.

The last of the Corona and lime. Gotta say that the novelty wore off somewhere around the third bottle. Looking forward to going back to IPAs.

The highlight of my day was driving from dance class to cheer practice in 20 minutes without speeding, almost half the time it normally takes when I do it an hour earlier. Also today I really appreciated my daughters’ smiles. They fill me up on bad days.

It is disgustingly humid outside tonight, but I need to do something to try to turn this day around, even if it is 9:42pm. Fresh air never did me wrong. Beer and baseball don’t hurt, either.
