Robin may look a lot like Billy, but she feels a lot like me. I wish we could lift it out of her and set her free, but I know all too well that we can’t. This is her journey and all we can do is walk with her on it. I have loved and…

Had a pretty decent day at work. It feels like work is taking over my life. Even though I log off on time, it’s all I think about. I feel very invested in it. I hope I can turn the program around the way I promised I would.

This dog. He pants and nudges and begs to be let out and then we open the door and he does this. He sticks his head out the door and sniffs for like 5 or 10 minutes and then comes back inside. Why are dogs so weird? It was otherwise a decent day. I feel…

I don’t have much to say about today. I worked, I ate dinner, I took Christina to dance, I watched the Olympics. Nothing really exciting happened during any of those activities. I guess some days are like that.

Went out to dinner tonight with Cindy and Molly. It’s always good to see them. Pinot was on fire today. He ate half my chocolate bar, which I’d been saving to eat last out of three bars I was given because it was my favorite flavor. Then he escaped the yard and had to be…

I went against my moral code and worked on a weekend. As much as it goes against my core values, I’m glad I did, because I got more done in three hours than I would have been able to do all week, and now I don’t have to stress about getting it done. We also…

Christina had a short competition where only her trio performed. They did so great! They earned a platinum award, first place overall, and a judges showmanship award. I’m so proud of them, even though it was an insanely long day. Definitely worth the long wait!

There is so much that needs to be done by Monday and no working days to do it. I am adamantly opposed to working during off hours, but in this case, it’s more for my own sanity than anything else. I’ll just have to keep it moderated. It was otherwise a pretty boring day. Christina…

It’s hard to believe it’s been 34 years since my dad died. The more time that passes, the more I realize how little I know about him. Like, I don’t know what his favorite flavor cake was. I think his favorite color was blue, but I’m not sure. He liked birds and drawing and he…

Christina now has the flu. At least once she’s done with it, we’ll all be done with it. Sheesh. Work is still beating my butt, but I took this afternoon “off” (just canceled my meetings) and managed to mostly more or less catch up. I feel a little better tonight than I did yesterday. The…

There has been a bluebird trying to fly into my office window for nearly a week now. She spent more than 20 minutes repeatedly flying into it this morning, chirping at it, and flying into it some more. I finally had to ask Google wtf she was doing and it told me that she was…

Finally back to work today, my first day teaching. It felt pretty good. I am woefully underprepared for this class, but we’re gonna get through it anyway. I blew my hair straight the other day because it was too cold to go out with wet hair. I liked it so much I did it again…

Busy day. Took the girls for haircuts. Robin went for a big change and it looks amazing on her. She was really happy with it, but didn’t want her picture taken, so we have this. Then we went food shopping and out to Target so Christina could buy some birthday gifts for her friends. We…

Not quite feeling 100% yet, but I did get a lot done. Three loads of laundry washed, dried, folded, and put away, my first cup of coffee from Panera in over a week, cleaned the kitchen, designed, engraved, and hung my medal rack, fixed the keyboard issue on Robin’s iPad, did some coloring, did light…

I feel like I have finally turned a corner on this flu. I made it out to pick up my new sunglasses and even worked half a day. It never felt so good to be at work. It feels so good to be alert again.
