I took Christina out for ice cream tonight to thank her for cleaning out my car without even being asked. It was nice getting to spend some one on one time with her, even if it was just 20 minutes. The rest of the day was a marathon. They’re all marathons. I just can’t seem…

I actually took some time after everyone went to bed to do some writing. The outcome of this presidential election is baffling to me. There has to be some way of making sense of it. I think that no matter how much I write, I will never really figure it out. In thousands of years,…

Today was one of those days. I’m doing my best to do the right thing. I don’t know if I succeeded 100% today, but I did at least try.

Mondays and Wednesdays are marathons. At least today was fairly productive. Got some bills paid and some papers off my desk. Such a small thing, but a huge weight lifted because it’s been sitting undone for weeks. Now, at last, bed.

Trying to keep vacation vibes going as long as I can. Being outside in nature fills me up in a way nothing else does. Time with myself is precious too. Spent the morning on the UNF trails. It’s been years since I was there and I didn’t remember how beautiful it was (in places… some…

I had plans to go to the park while Christina was at a birthday party, but changed my plans so Robin could come to the gym with me at that time instead. Well, Robin didn’t come to the gym with me and I didn’t go to the park. So now we have a picture of…

All day long I thought it was Monday. It’s definitely better thinking it’s Monday when it’s actually Friday than it is thinking it’s Friday when it’s actually Monday!

Robin kept removing pieces of her attire that got uncomfortable until we were almost home and then she got a briar stuck in her toe and I thought we might have to call an EMT to hold her down while I tried to remove it. Just a few tears shed. Christina punched out early when…

We got some incredibly nice feedback about Christina from her dean today. I’m proud of her. I am not as proud of the Yankees. But… they still have a couple innings and a slim lead, so maybe I should shut up. What else is new?

We went to the pumpkin patch tonight and Christina picked out at least three or four perfect pumpkins before settling on one. Robin found a dented one in the first three minutes we were there and didn’t even bother looking at others after that. Can’t wait to see what faces emerge from these guys in…

For the first time in forever, I have a Halloween costume. I bought a flapper outfit and I’m totally excited to wear it every day. I’ve been obsessed with figuring out how to do my hair and makeup. I may wear it to meetings at work.

Got in a four-mile hike at Julington-Durbin Creek Preserve while Christina was at a dance team party nearby. It was a good, fast-paced hike so I wouldn’t be late picking her up. The weather, once again, was beautiful. I want to wring every minute of outdoor time I can get out of this vacation.

In an attempt to support local small businesses and continue getting out of the house, I took the girls to the Riverside Arts Market to try to find a birthday gift for Christina’s friend. They were amazed at all there was to see there, and we didn’t even go down to the performance stage. They…

On my last day of fall vacation, I hiked Little Talbot Island. I thought I had bug spray in my trunk, but discovered when I got there that I didn’t. It was unfortunate, because there were approximately two billion mosquitos on the trail. I swatted them away for about two thirds of a mile and…

Had to call 911 today after stopping at a crash scene on the way to dance. Several other drivers in front of me would have had a clear view of what happened, but none stopped. I was a few cars back and only heard the crash, but at least I stopped to call for help.…
