    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.

    The girls spent most of practice inside today because it was 99 degrees outside and the gym isn’t air conditioned. I wasn’t invited.

    Today was Christina’s end of year dance recital. Rosina and Dion came up to watch, which I appreciate so much. Now we have two whole days of rest before starting next season. The team sport life is really grueling.

    Nothing seemed to go right today. All week long I’ve been looking forward to reverse tie dyeing this weekend. I put undiluted bleach on my black shirt for 20 minutes and it didn’t fade even a little bit. I guess it’s because it’s not cotton. Then we installed a new Ring doorbell, and it worked…

    Tonight I started a new NAMI Family to Family class online. I forget sometimes just how desperate I was when I first took the class, now 15 years ago. I hear it in people’s voices, the exhaustion, the sadness, the frustration, the overwhelming emotion, the helplessness and hopelessness… And I think about Mom and our…

    I’m always excited when a new flower appears in the garden. This one’s blooming, as well as all the hydrangea and milkweed. It looks like a proper garden. Maybe I can do this after all. I better not get too cocky.

    This year’s dance dress rehearsal was much more tolerable than last year’s, primarily because I had food in my belly and I knew it was going to take eons to get through. Christina was also in more of the dances, which made it more interesting to watch. Could be worse ways to spend a Wednesday…

    Billy and I went on a date on a rare night where no one had any evening activities planned. We enjoyed Italian delicacies and talked and it was nice. I especially loved that it was his suggestion. I was absolutely exhausted for some reason but enjoyed it anyway. It’s nice to feel loved.

    The kids started camp today, and Robin is fully back to cheer, even with her boot. She was able to stunt with her team and was thrilled about it! I am thrilled for her.

    We did MORE tie dye today, and it came out fabulous. I also made the first ornament for my advent calendar, the Yankees won, and we went to see IF a second time, this time with Billy and Robin. I’m so jazzed with the tie dyeing… I may do more tomorrow. I’m straight outta 1965,…

    Today’s big activity was tie dyeing, which came about because I felt Robin needed to tie dye the sock that came with her walking boot. It was fun, but we went through a LOT of dye, and I had to go back to the store for more. My hands may be blue for a while.
