Today was a little better than yesterday. We made homemade pizza for dinner. Robin decided to make a calzone instead, and it came out of the oven looking like a Rolling Stones album cover. She didn’t see it. Girl has no imagination.

It was such a stressful day at work. I haven’t quite been able to step out of it. But we learned today that Vienna is in Austria, not Belgium. Thank you, Alexa. I sang the song to Christina and to my surprise, she said, “I know that song!” Go figure.

Took Christina to the dentist to replace the fillings on her two front teeth that she knocked out yesterday practicing dance moves in her bedroom. Had fun reliving my color guard days with Robin. She’s better than I am at this point, and she just started learning a week ago. To be fair, I haven’t…

Got a lot done on the patio. I’m very nearly finished. I think two more weekends and it’ll be ready for decorating. I’m immensely proud of it. Spent the rest of the day doing the usual Sunday chores. Sundays are so exhausting.

Managed to get up early and do some work on the patio before taking Robin to tumbling. Went to Home Depot with Christina to pick up a new pot for her cactus, which may or may not survive its emergency surgery. I spent the rest of the day designing new beer labels for the work…

Robin had a tough day at school after the news about Jackson. I’m not sure if I’m in denial, but he seems better. Maybe this is premature. Took the kids to Chili’s for dinner – Billy had a football game.
-
We told the kids about Jackson at dinner. It was very hard. Robin had an especially hard time. But he had a pretty good day today, so maybe it’s not as imminent as we thought. He had ice cream for the first time and loved it.
-
Billy and I made the impossible decision that it’s time to let Jackson rest. He can’t even lift his leg to pee. He’s not interested in food. He can barely walk. He sleeps all day. I am emotional mud right now.
-
We talked to the kids about Jackson and decided to try the injection. I made an appointment with the vet, but the earliest they had was next Friday. I’ve been paying closer attention to him, but it’s so hard to tell how he’s feeling.
-
Today was a very hard day. I called the vet to see if there were other pain management alternatives for Jackson. There is a monthly injection, but because he has a history of seizures, there’s a possibility the injection could cause vertigo. He might have trouble walking, trouble with incontinence, disorientation. The other alternative is…

I promised Christina last weekend that we could go to the beach this weekend, so even though I’d only slept about 20 minutes, we went to the beach this morning. We swam in the ocean and lay in the sun. It was so relaxing and peaceful. And then it got hot, so we left. The…

I didn’t want to get up this morning to work on the patio because I wake up before dawn every damn day and I want to sleep in later than 6:30 sometimes. But then I was wide awake at 7:30 and it was too late to go out and work before taking Robin to tumbling.…

We went to one of Billy’s football games tonight. Luckily the storm of the day was during Robin’s dismissal and not during the game. Poor Robin got drenched getting into the car, but luckily not struck by lightning. The game was good – for our team – but I don’t understand why the home team…

Our old boy is really showing his age lately. It’s hard to see him now compared to even a year or two ago. There’s just a little over a week until his 15th birthday. He still likes to bark at the lawnmower and will trot towards a squirrel if he happens to see one. He…

Today has not been noteworthy, except that we had dentist appointments this morning. There were a few cavities, but we now have mouthwash and better brushing instructions, so hopefully next time will be better. My morning run was a little cooler than yesterday. The temperature itself was only three degrees cooler, but the feels like…
