I saw a bumper sticker today that said, “Condoms prevent minivans.” It was on a minivan. Kind of made my day. Also this little tiny rainbow at the gas station. Lowlights included this morning’s dentist appointment, where Robin learned she has five cavities and seven others developing. If this doesn’t inspire her to start brushing…

Billy broke out this puzzle the other day, which was a Christmas gift from 2024 that apparently got eaten by the game closet. It’s a fun one, definitely unique. I was happy to get back to the gym today after two weeks of work insanity. It felt like much longer than two weeks. Nice to…

Robin asked to go to a rage room, and who am I to say no? There is some kind of satisfaction that comes from smashing things. And we smashed things. Printers, mirrors, lamps, radios, dishes. We used crowbars and wrenches and sledgehammers. Christina refused to participate and stood in the back the whole time, but…

Jackson very rudely woke me up at 7:30 this morning on one of my precious days to sleep in, which left me angry and slightly depressed. So I took the kids to the beach. It was far from beach weather, so we just went for a walk, but it felt so good to be near…

It was a nice Valentine’s Day. Robin and I made some witty Valentine’s Day cards and left them on cars at the Publix parking lot. Hopefully people found them more endearing than annoying. Christina and I made heart-shaped raspberry jam thumbprint cookies. We splurged and had filet mignon with bearnaise sauce for dinner on a…

Robin may look a lot like Billy, but she feels a lot like me. I wish we could lift it out of her and set her free, but I know all too well that we can’t. This is her journey and all we can do is walk with her on it. I have loved and…

Had a pretty decent day at work. It feels like work is taking over my life. Even though I log off on time, it’s all I think about. I feel very invested in it. I hope I can turn the program around the way I promised I would.

This dog. He pants and nudges and begs to be let out and then we open the door and he does this. He sticks his head out the door and sniffs for like 5 or 10 minutes and then comes back inside. Why are dogs so weird? It was otherwise a decent day. I feel…

I don’t have much to say about today. I worked, I ate dinner, I took Christina to dance, I watched the Olympics. Nothing really exciting happened during any of those activities. I guess some days are like that.

Went out to dinner tonight with Cindy and Molly. It’s always good to see them. Pinot was on fire today. He ate half my chocolate bar, which I’d been saving to eat last out of three bars I was given because it was my favorite flavor. Then he escaped the yard and had to be…

I went against my moral code and worked on a weekend. As much as it goes against my core values, I’m glad I did, because I got more done in three hours than I would have been able to do all week, and now I don’t have to stress about getting it done. We also…

Christina had a short competition where only her trio performed. They did so great! They earned a platinum award, first place overall, and a judges showmanship award. I’m so proud of them, even though it was an insanely long day. Definitely worth the long wait!

There is so much that needs to be done by Monday and no working days to do it. I am adamantly opposed to working during off hours, but in this case, it’s more for my own sanity than anything else. I’ll just have to keep it moderated. It was otherwise a pretty boring day. Christina…

It’s hard to believe it’s been 34 years since my dad died. The more time that passes, the more I realize how little I know about him. Like, I don’t know what his favorite flavor cake was. I think his favorite color was blue, but I’m not sure. He liked birds and drawing and he…

Christina now has the flu. At least once she’s done with it, we’ll all be done with it. Sheesh. Work is still beating my butt, but I took this afternoon “off” (just canceled my meetings) and managed to mostly more or less catch up. I feel a little better tonight than I did yesterday. The…
