    We checked Congaree National Park off our list today! We hiked a trail that was described as a good opportunity to spot otters. Unfortunately the creek was almost completely dried up so we didn’t see any. But all the cypress knees were pretty cool.

    We have a cute AirBnB in South Carolina for the next few days, right on a little river. Looking forward to exploring the next few days.

    I spent an awful lot of time in meetings today and I am so exhausted. It is so time for a week off.

    Finally made it home and now it’s back to the usual. For a day or two, anyway.

    I went to my first escape room today and it was more fun than I expected it would be. The people in my group worked really well together, which I think helped a lot. Also we won. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with people from work, but I am ready…

    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…

    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…

    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.…
