There was so much riding on this flight and damn it, Hurricane Debby was not going to fuck with my day at Yankees Stadium that I have been looking forward to for ten years. But look at our luck: I was worried about tomorrow’s game being rained out, but instead tonight’s game was rained out…

After Robin’s epic practice last night, I felt inspired to get my ass on the treadmill for the first time in almost a year and a half. My entire being hurts. I guess this is a good thing?
-
Robin had an amazing cheerleading practice today. It was almost two hours of solid conditioning, and it was HARD WORK. He had them doing squats while carrying their teammates on their backs. Robin kept looking up at me in disbelief, but she did it. The only thing she didn’t manage to do was a back…

Just another day. I screwed something up big at work, but I’m doing what I can to fix it. Robin had a pretty good tumbling practice, but she’s got a ways to go. Her new coach is fabulous and taking her back to basics. We got our butts kicked by the Harry Potter expansion game…

I may have sewn some ornaments while doing trainings at work. I still have a lot of work to do.

Back to school shopping is done, thank goodness. It went a lot better than I expected. We got all but three items on the list and it cost less than half of what we spent last year. It also only took half an hour. Everything is all sorted and packed and ready to take to…

We took a family pasta making class at the Y and made about 10 pounds of pasta. Not that any of it went to waste. The dogs enjoyed eating the small amount of dough that was too sticky to use. I also made two more ornaments for the advent calendar, which looks like it might…

Taught the last session of the latest NAMI Family to Family class tonight. It wasn’t the best series this go around. It was online and there wasn’t great participation overall, but I always appreciate when someone gets something out of it, and I think we accomplished that. I love doing it, but I’m always relieved…

Homage to the dog who doesn’t get nearly enough attention but honestly would rather not so thanks anyway.

This summer is flying by with very little time to enjoy it. I feel like I am just jumping one hurdle after another without ever taking a break. It’s not that I’m not having fun as much as that I’m having fun without having the chance to acknowledge that I’m enjoying it. If this is…

I am so proud of Robin, who spent seven solid hours at a cheer practice in a gym that is not air conditioned on a 95-degree day and then went to a tumbling class immediately afterwards and still put in a solid effort involving many sets of back handsprings without anyone around her, all with…

I didn’t want to take these balloons home from Rosina and Dion’s house, but I’m secretly glad she insisted. I have a soft spot for birthday balloons.
-
Celebrated my birthday with Dion at their house today. It was a nice day, though I didn’t expect so many people there. I do love them. And Robin loves their cat.

45… the day was pretty good. I loved spending the morning at the beach, alone, so peaceful. I left when all the families started arriving and went to lunch with my own family. Raised a glass to my mom and shared stories with the kids. Spent hours making a delicious cake with Robin. Christina told…

I didn’t get to the pool yesterday, thanks to the weather, so I took the day off from work and went this morning. I did not regret it. I always forget how refreshing the water is when it’s 102 degrees outside. Then we watched the Olympics opening ceremony, which was FOUR HOURS LONG OMG, but…
