It wasn’t the best first outing, but they held up their pyramid and I’m proud of them. I hope this is the kick they need to bump it up a notch for the next one. They’ve got this!

I was touched to see this unicorn I made for Rosina years ago sitting on top of a pile of stuffies in her guest room. I had forgotten I ever even made it. It looks a lot healthier than the one I made for Christina. But then again, a lot of things do.

Robin’s first cheer competition is on Saturday, so we made some pins. We have eight hours between her performance and awards in which to give them out, which might just be enough. We learned a few things from last year and these were much simpler to make and probably cooler, too. We may need to…

Got my boobs squished this morning (after they called me 17 times in less than two days to schedule). I was overflowing sarcasm at work, and then watched Robin’s cheer practice. The team struggled tonight and she was literally sick with anxiety over it. But the coach, who had pissed me off tremendously over the…

I saw this dog sweater on Amazon a couple months ago that I really liked, but it wasn’t available in Pinot’s size or something, so I didn’t buy it and never saw it again. I decided I’m going to make it. I found a basic dog sweater pattern and am going to attempt to merge…

I am so cold. I can’t wait to get under the comforter and thaw out my nose and toes. It’s not even that cold outside (50s, maybe?), but I am freezing. Yay winter?

It’s gotten chilly here lately. I’m trying to avoid turning on the heat because I know Billy is part polar bear, but this morning it was 64 degrees in the house, and if it’s too cold to take a shower, then it’s too fucking cold. Also it’s 43 degrees outside right now and not only…

Somebody turned 46 today, and it wasn’t me!

It doesn’t really feel like Christmas to me yet. Maybe since less than 24 hours ago it was still Thanksgiving.

I ran my first 5k since sometime in 2018-2019. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t hit my 20-minute consecutive run target, but I got to 17 and my pace was faster than it has been while training, so not a total loss. Plus I ran a few more stints of about 3-5 minutes each…

Christina and I went to the park and played catch and I even went on the swings. The rest of the day was dedicated to the Harry Potter game. Sadly, the glasses and table runner I ordered for tomorrow were delayed and will not arrive in time. I’m so disappointed. Also I’m nervous about tomorrow’s…

Lazy day today. Highlights include: Running the wrong training program on the treadmill, knitting for hours, everyone but me playing Portal Knights, booking hotels for dance and a campsite for spring break, and writing one paragraph in the sermon I may never deliver but feel compelled to write anyway. It hasn’t been the most exciting…

About five minutes after I took this photo, everything went to shit. Robin got sick, we ended up missing cheer practice, and everyone got upset. I think things are on the mend, but ugh.

I went for a 4.5-mile bike ride around the neighborhood today, but more impressively, I repaired my bike before going, without any help. The brake line had come loose and the handlebars were misaligned. God knows how the kids have been riding this thing. I realized the front wheel was also loose since it wobbled…

The kids were disappointed yesterday that I was seeing Wicked without them, so I took them today. They had more or less the same impressions I did. Robin says she knows what she wants to be for Halloween next year. She loved Elphaba. Seeing it the second time, knowing I would not get to see…
