Robin had her tumbling class and was invited to join the advanced class, which apparently is empty except for her. I think she likes the sense of recognition she’s getting from the coaches. It’s so nice to be at a gym that reinforces her instead of tearing her down. She also made white chicken chili…

Long, busy day with a lot of meetings and a lot of talking. I had four hours of training calls at work and then a 2 1/2 hour NAMI meeting afterwards. Also this morning Robin came with me to the gym. I haven’t been in weeks, so it was nice to be there and also…

Today was recital dress rehearsal marathon day. We left the house at 1:45 and didn’t get home until 9:20. Long afternoon. Luckily after a few years, I know to go prepared, so it was tolerable. I played with my new camera so much that I used up the battery by the time they were halfway…

Robin finished this Lego project tonight that we bought when we were in New York over spring break. It was a long labor of love and parts of it were tedious with all the little tiny pieces that had to go together perfectly. But she really did it herself – I only had to help…

Phase 2 of the patio project is done. Next weekend I’ll spread my first layer of gravel and then I’ll be ready to start compacting. Once that’s done, I start laying pavers and the whole thing will start looking real. I think at this point I’m looking at Labor Day to be totally finished, decorating…

We went to an escape room today and we missed it by about THREE MINUTES. We had even figured out the clue but just kept typing in the answer wrong. We are so bummed! We did a lot better than the last time, and honestly that made it more fun. It also helped that we…

We played the National Parks board game, which I thoroughly enjoyed even though I lost. Even Robin played without pouting. It was nice to do something together as a family that we don’t normally do. We haven’t done anything like that in a long time. Too many other things going on. Christina beat us all…

Today was the kids’ last day of school. Christina walked home wearing her bacon costume and got honked at a lot. We went out to eat to celebrate and then Robin asked to go to Barnes & Noble afterwards. We bought a few books. And by a few I mean too many. Luckily we have…

The big victory I had at work on Friday ended up being a big flop when the technology failed to cooperate. I’m back to where I was before, which is a “meh” option. Much less flashy and impressive, but technically gets the job done. Maybe I can find a way to dress it up somehow.…

Billy accidentally bought me such a thoughtful gift. He had suggested that I bring my DSLR with me to Savannah and I told him that I wasn’t going to bring it because it’s bulky and also because I can’t really see the image or the light meter through the viewfinder since I am mostly blind…

I wanted to wimp out of this morning’s race because it was so hot, but Monica pushed me to go anyway and I’m glad I did. It was already 77 degrees by the time we started at 8am, with 92% humidity. Very soupy run. But I ran it without walking for the second time since…

I thought I finished digging out the patio this morning, but YouTube says I need to dig another six inches around the whole perimeter. Looks like one more week before I get to play with the compactor. Robin went to the mall with her friend Alejandro and Christina and I painted pottery while they wandered…

We went to see Michael today at Christina’s request. It was actually pretty good. The girls kept poking me and saying, “I know this song!” I always kind of hate when you go to a movie only to find out at the end that the movie is two parts, but this time I was kind…

We went to Carmine’s Pie House to celebrate Robin’s 8th grade graduation. We got off to a little bit of a rocky start, but it ended up being a pretty good night. I had a win (or at least the start of a win) at work today, too. I configured a GPT to help build…

I had a pretty good day. I accomplished a lot of things at work that have been going on for a while, and that felt good. The day slowly slumped into crap, though. Robin came home from her 8th grade field trip in a good mood, but that got erased when she had to set…
