It’s only Monday and I’m already two days behind where I was on Friday. What is this garbage? However, I did receive some more goodies for my patio project and I am now even more excited about it.

I’ve been wanting a backyard sanctuary since before I had a backyard. I’m feeling ready to make a true effort. It won’t be the $30,000 version I had in mind originally, but I think it will be nice. I have a screened in tent, some cushion covers, string lights, a shopping list, and a plan.…

I’ve become a big fan of ChatGPT at work, but it has repeatedly let me down at home. Every family activity it has suggested has been a giant bust with only one exception, and there was no way it could have predicted that my old boss would show up randomly at the restaurant it suggested…

The kids had a half day today, so Robin and I went to Leaderboard and played video games for a while before getting ready for tonight’s middle school dance. Looking at these two tonight, I really have to wonder what the heck happened to my babies?? At this point I have no chance of surviving…

I had such a hard time waking up this morning to go for my run, but I’m glad I did. It is pretty much the only sanity I’ve had this week, and I’m so grateful for it. Today was a little better than the rest of the week, but it ended on a sour note…

I finished the day with a splitting headache. There is just so much riling me up at work and I can’t control my ire. I have a clearer idea of what I can throw off my plate; now I just need to find the time to do it. First I need to recover.

Work is trying to kill me again. I am not really sure why I can’t keep up, but I finished the day drained and couldn’t really articulate why. I am grateful for the time I get to myself in the car while Christina’s at dance, though. It’s nice to have the peace and quiet. Although…

Back to work today, and it was a stressful day. It took all of about six minutes for me to begin feeling annoyed, 23 minutes to feel angry, and an hour and a half to become irate. After that I was just tired and overwhelmed. But undeterred! Christina made tacos for dinner and then I…

I got a lot done today, starting with a much-needed run and ending with a highly admirable family effort to clean up the yard so it can be mowed tomorrow. There are three orange blossoms on Christina’s tree, and even the dead hydrangea managed one little baby cluster of leaves to give us some hope.…

In retrospect, this year’s spring break was generally poorly planned. We spent five of the last eight days in the car. Our day in NYC was kind of a bust. And today everyone was so worn out from all the traveling that we left Sea World after only half a day. I can’t say I’m…

I was on the road and couldn’t fill out a bracket before the March Madness started, so I printed out paper ones for me and Billy before I looked at any scores. Billy had already seen some of the scores, so he got one freebie that I missed (really, High Point?), but otherwise we’re on…

Made it back to Jacksonville. We hit next to no traffic until we hit Jacksonville city limits, and then it was traffic the rest of the way home. Welcome home. We got pizza from Renna’s and it was delicious. Christina isn’t feeling well. Some kind of stomach issue. I wish we could help her, but…

Pretty decent drive from NJ to VA today. There were a couple spots with traffic, but nothing more than a few minutes and otherwise traffic was very light. I hope tomorrow is just as easy, but I take nothing for granted. We got to the hotel pretty early, around 3:15. I spent some time telling…

We had a nice day living the life at Aunt Cathrine and Uncle Bob’s senior living facility. It’s like living on a giant cruise ship. The place has everything imaginable. Today’s highlights included visiting the facility thrift shop, going to the pool, playing Uno, and having a fancy St. Patrick’s Day dinner in the dining…

We traipsed the town today. I learned a very important lesson, which is that ChatGPT is a terrible trip planner. Like, class-Z-minus terrible. Still, we managed to have a good day. Not hard to do because let’s face it. NYC. We had dinner with an old friend and was spotted at random by my old…
