Today was the big day. I finally rented the compactor for the patio. It is definitely heavy. I was moderately successful with it. I got much less done today than I wanted. Time just wasn’t on my side. I plan to go full throttle tomorrow and get all the rest of the compacting done. It…

I spent hours getting my string lines up to level the patio and was almost done getting it leveled out when someone let Jackson out. He got tangled up in the lines and pulled everything down in about two seconds of drama. It was so fast and yet it felt like slow motion. I seriously…

I spent the day working on my site design at work. Every time I do something, I think of a better way to do it and then I have to do it all over again. I think now I’ve got a good system, though, so I just need to build it. Luckily I’ve also developed…

I spent six hours building something at work today before realizing there was a much better way to do it that would only take ten minutes and would function far more smoothly. At least I figured it out after six hours and not 40. We’ve been cooking dinner now for over an hour because there…

Nothing too notable happened today. Continuing to try to reshape the idea of training at work into something more like reviewer development and support. I have a lot of crazy ideas. My boss is giving me free reign, so I’m just blazing through them. There weren’t any dance or tumbling classes tonight, so I used…

Christina started surf camp today. She didn’t want to go when I dropped her off. I think she was feeling insecure and self conscious, which is understandable when you’re trying something new. But a very sweet girl noticed she looked uncertain and came up to her and invited Christina to sit with her until the…

I’m not a fan of Sundays. I did a lot today and very little of it was fun. Washed sheets, made the bed, cleaned the kitchen, got coffee, fixed the a/c (did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?), went food shopping, did laundry. I did go out to dinner with…

Christina woke me up at 8:40 this morning asking, “are we leaving?” She had dance class at 9:00 and I totally forgot. I took her in my pajamas with my crazy morning hair, teeth unbrushed, braless, and without even going to the bathroom to pee and we got there right on time. Later I took…

I spent the whole entire day building an Excel database for my training program. It’s not done, but the bones are there and I’m pretty proud of it. We went out to eat at a new to us Italian restaurant on Philips Highway and it was pretty good. I spent the rest of the evening…

Today I drafted formal procedures for the new training program I developed this year. I had a little help from artificial intelligence, I admit, but it had to get done by Monday, so a little cheating was necessary. Tomorrow I will work on building the documentation template to use as evidence of control effectiveness. It’s…

I caught up with Sarah at work today and it was like a breath of fresh air. I needed the reality check. It was otherwise a busy day with not much time for building, which is my new favorite pastime. Then it was therapy and the last NAMI class for this session. I’m so grateful…

It was a pretty typical day. I managed to take care of some tasks that have been sitting on my list a while – getting Robin registered for high school, getting the kids enrolled in their respective camps, scheduling car maintenance and doctor’s appointments, rescheduling the cleaners… I still have more to do. But we…

Back to work today… luckily it was a slow, easy day. I will take it. Took Christina to dance for the first time in what feels like forever. I finished paring down the photos from Yellowstone. I started with 783 images and narrowed it down to 94. That may be as low as it gets.…

Today was a day for chores and tedium. Unpacked, did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, went food shopping. Every time I thought I’d have a minute to look at vacation photos, something came up – laptop battery was dead, nail polish wouldn’t come off, needed to cook dinner for Father’s Day (french toast, yum). I did…

We had a pretty smooth trip home, but I felt sad the whole time. I already miss the mountains. I guess I’m also glad I get to see the pups again, though. I missed them too.
