We gave this self publishing kit to Christina for her 10th birthday. She loved the idea of it so much that she was afraid to use it in case she messed it up. She wrote a bunch of stories, but none of them seemed good enough to publish. In the end, she decided to use…

I clocked 55 miles on the odometer today, just going back and forth between dance and tumbling. I did this after a full day of work, and then I came home and had dinner and had a Zoom meeting with my NAMI co-facilitator, took a shower, and somehow still felt like I could run around…

Spent a few minutes in the garden after work. One of the new roses has a bud on it. The impatiens was angry that I hadn’t watered it in a few days. This amaryllis is a late bloomer, but beautiful as can be. The weather was perfect and I was jealous of our neighbor, who…

I started running again last fall. I thought that, like other times I have gotten into running, progress would come easily over time. These last four months or so have proved me very, very wrong. I thought that by now, completing a 5k would feel relatively easy, or at least POSSIBLE. I have a race…

I didn’t stick around for cheer tonight and instead came home to cook dinner, even though no one else was home. I got a whole 90 minutes all to myself. It was blissfully quiet. I need to do this more often.

We had such a good Easter this year. So much better than last year, but having wisdom teeth removed would be better than last Easter. We crocheted, we had a water balloon fight, Robin made this bunny cake, we played a new game called Chicken Butt, and we had a delicious ham dinner made by…

It was a busy day. Gym for a run this morning, then food shopping, dyeing eggs (we tried the Cool Whip method this year with marginal success), and then I went out for pizza with Lauren and Monica. While I was out, Robin and Billy baked jelly bean sugar cookies that are actually quite tasty!…

It was kind of a slow day. The kids were off for Good Friday and I didn’t have any meetings at work. Robin and I picked out a cake and some cookies to make tomorrow for Easter dinner. Could very well end up on an episode of “Nailed It” when we’re done, but we’re gonna…

I finished this sweater a few days ago, which I started sometime in 2023. There are so many things wrong with it, but through some miracle there are enough things right with it that I can wear it and it even looks presentable. And now I’m in the weird, uncomfortable position of having nothing to…

It is so annoying dealing with the pharmacy. I’m going on three days without a medication after being told for days, “It’ll be ready by 11.” I can barely function right now. I’m glad this medication works, but it is ALWAYS a pain in the ass to refill. I go through this every month and…

The plumber finally came today and all the work is finally done. I am so relieved to have two working toilets and a water heater from this century. For some reason, though, I am utterly exhausted, even though I didn’t really do much today. So goodnight to me!

Finished this puzzle today. Putting together all the crowd sections was hard. All the pieces looked basically the same, and the pieces didn’t fit together intuitively. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. But I finished in time to go to cheer, where I also finished a sweater I’ve been working on for…

Christina’s dance competition didn’t go as well today as yesterday. The team didn’t even place. It was fun watching her anyway. And, we have wisteria flowers for the first time since I planted it over ten years ago! So exciting.

It was a long, busy day. Christina had a dance competition this morning, and her team swept their level, taking home at least three top prizes. They looked absolutely amazing. And then, although I really, really didn’t want to, I ran the Wine and Chocolate 5k. I was 9 seconds off my time for the…

Slowed down the pace a little today and it felt nice. Picked up materials for tomorrow’s wine and chocolate 5k. I’m a little bummed that I got this wine glass instead of a medal. I don’t drink much wine because no one else in the house drinks it and a bottle is no good on…
