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.…

Got a lot done today. Cleaned the kitchen, went food shopping, did laundry. Robin asked to go to Michael’s to buy supplies to make phone charms and I spent way too much money on it. I’ll do almost anything to see her smile. I met Lauren and Monica for an early dinner at Pecan Craft…

I spent several hours getting my website caught up this morning. It’ll be out of date again by tomorrow. Oh well! Christina, Billy and I played Five Crowns and I beat their asses bad. I only scored six points the whole game. Go me. Then Christina had dance, we had dinner, and I freaked out…

It was another crazy day at work. So many meetings and so little accomplished when there is so much to do. I had to settle for yet another unfinished task when I left for dance. When we got home, we ate dinner in front of the TV, watching Penn State wrestling. You always know who…

I have been absolutely exhausted. Every time I start doing one thing, I get pulled into something else. Everything feels unfinished and chaotic. So when the kids started fighting about Kraft mac and cheese while I was trying to finish two other things at work, I kind of gave up on life. I tried so…

I’m not sure what it is, but I’m a little melancholy today. It hit me kind of suddenly and out of nowhere on my drive home from picking Christina up at dance. I know exactly where, too. Just before Wal-Mart on the corner near our house. I just feel kind of empty. Like walking in…

I’m really enjoying my new job. Like, a lot. I haven’t even officially started and I’ve accomplished so much. And it’s been fun! Work? Fun? Who expected that? Outside of work, I’ve had to put my running shoes on the shelf for a few weeks, which has been difficult. I have a mild piriformis strain,…

I ate a quarter pounder with cheese and fries in my car today as if I hadn’t eaten anything in days. You know the sound cartoons make when they’re scarfing food? That was me, and I was unashamed as I did it. It was salty af and the little bits of onions kept falling off…

This is my latest knitting obsession. I did stop a couple times today and managed to do laundry and go food shopping. The girls and I also went to the gym – they played volleyball and I played basketball. I had very low expectations for my basketball abilities, but I surprised myself and made a…

There are no filters on this picture. The sky was that blue. It was 80 degrees today, so we decided to go to the beach. Christina dunked her head in the water, which is impressive because the water temperature is 61. We went as the sun was going down and the temperature dropped quickly, so…

I have really been enjoying my new job, which really hasn’t started yet, but I’ve had time to get going since my other work is pretty much wrapped up. I hope the upcoming class goes well – I am making a lot of changes. Also today I started knitting a new blanket for the living…

Robin tested positive for flu type A and strep throat today. She got the strep from me and the flu from the friend we went to the arcade with last weekend. Poor kid! She’s holding up pretty well considering. I’m trying my best to believe that I won’t get the flu from her, but I…

Robin stayed home from school today with a fever. Seems she may have caught whatever I had last week. I’ve also apparently developed a mild running injury from overtraining. It is going to take a monumental effort to back off and rest it, but I’m going to have to try anyway. I also have some…

I was a little lethargic today. Too much cancer. A friend is facing chemo and a bleak diagnosis and Siggi found out her dear Pinchazo has a large mass in his throat. I wish I could do more than say, “I love you.” It just doesn’t feel like enough. Because it isn’t.

Back to work for real today. Got up early for a run and a shower, which I haven’t had to do for weeks. I managed to get ahead of my work over the break, so I had time today to prepare to lead my first training class in a couple weeks. Christina went back to…
