I was exhausted all day. Back to back meetings from the moment I logged on at work didn’t help. The kids had their school orientation in the morning and got to meet their teachers. Hard to believe this is Robin’s last year here. Christina went to get her hair cut after work, and ended up…

We had a great time these last few days with Sonal, Esha, and Arjun. The resort was fantastic. I never wanted to leave the water. I’m completely exhausted now. It was a long, long, long drive home with so much traffic. If we had pulled over to the side of the road and parked for…

The beach on the island was beautiful. The water was perfect. We sat in the water watching a storm roll in for hours and almost made it back to the mainland before the skies opened up on us. We ended up spending the afternoon in our room, but we did manage to have some s’mores…

Made it to Bonita Springs and the resort is beautiful. Met up with Sonal and it was like we’d just seen each other last week. Man, I miss my NY peeps. Not enough to move back to NY (no offense), but pretty damn close. We hung out at the pool for hours, went down waterslides,…

Left work feeling stressed, and then felt stressed about making dinner and packing for our trip to Bonita Springs tomorrow, but somewhere along the way, I relaxed and it ended up being a pretty good night. Even if the Yankees can’t do anything right.

Snagged this sweet shot of Christina swimming in the ocean with some dolphins playing behind her. The birds flew into the shot just to show off. We had a good time at the beach. Weather was great, water was refreshing. Need to do more of this.

Today we spent the afternoon helping inspect and sort food donations with Feeding Northeast Florida. After all of the amazing things we have been privileged to do lately, it felt like something we had to pay forward. It was a fulfilling experience, and I can’t wait to sign up again.

Today’s lesson at work was: Don’t try to do it all. I guess I needed to hear that. For the first time in a month, I feel a little hopeful. Also: This rose is blooming, and I thought it had died. So I guess my rose is on the same page as me.

I met up with my chorus carpool for the first time in what must be at least a year. We had dinner out and it was nice. So much to catch up on! It was great to see them, but work has been so stressful that it was hard for me to relax and enjoy…

I remember once when I was about 8 or 9, my mom and I sat on the front porch of our house watching a thunderstorm. We watched it roll in, pour, and then roll away, leaving that eerie green haze that thunderstorms often leave behind. It was both exhilarating and soothing and it completely changed…

My days seem to separate into three basic parts: mornings, when I go to the gym (chest workout today), days, when I go to work (still scrambling to get caught up while people pile more work on my plate), and evenings, which is my free time. Tonight I made spaghetti and meatballs, and watched a…

I finished reading The Neverending Story tonight. The first half is exactly like the movie. The second half isn’t part of the movie at all, which was pretty much the whole entire point of the book. Hollywood! I enjoyed it. It’s been very hot lately and my garden is withering in the heat. Took some…

It was a pretty good day. I braved my fears and met up with a group of women for a short paddle to a sandbar and back. The current was SO strong. I had to work hard to get there. But the water was gorgeous and the ladies were nice. Came home and went out…

The wild manic streak I’ve been on for the past nine months seems to be coming to an end. I’ve finished all my projects and have been completely uninspired to start anything new. Most of the time I lie around, unable to think of anything worthwhile to do. I did manage to have lunch with…

Robin did NOT leave her cooking class with a smile tonight. She didn’t want to taste her cake, she didn’t want to look at her cake, she didn’t want to touch her cake, she never wanted to make another cake ever again. Apparently she didn’t have enough of the color she wanted, and the piping…
