I promised Christina last weekend that we could go to the beach this weekend, so even though I’d only slept about 20 minutes, we went to the beach this morning. We swam in the ocean and lay in the sun. It was so relaxing and peaceful. And then it got hot, so we left. The rest of the day was chores – laundry, cleaning the kitchen, food shopping. And then Robin wanted her day, so we went to the mall. The girl better make a lot of money when she grows up because she LOVES to buy things. All in all a good day, but now it’s almost Monday again! I’m ready for some time off.

I pulled out my knitting the other day. Haven’t worked on this in a while. Still a very long to go on this one. We ordered in pizza from Renna’s tonight and it was delicious, as always. I feel like I worked very hard today and have very little to show for it. I don’t really like days like that. At least it’s Friday.

The kids had their annual physicals today. Christina managed to escape her shot, but Robin was not so lucky. Christina had been so nervous about it that her blood pressure was 146/78. It went down to 126/71 after she found out she was good. They are doing ok, but if Christina was that scared about a shot, I hate to think how she is going to handle having blood drawn tomorrow.

We went out to eat again tonight. Robin wanted to go out for Colombian food, and who are we to say no? It was delicious. I got some reading in while Christina was at dance. Right now I’m reading Once A Runner, by John Parker. He writes in my language. Otherwise just trying to stay awake and alert around here!

This is my latest knitting obsession. I did stop a couple times today and managed to do laundry and go food shopping. The girls and I also went to the gym – they played volleyball and I played basketball. I had very low expectations for my basketball abilities, but I surprised myself and made a decent number of shots. Probably missed more than I made, but made a lot that I never thought I could. And I worked up a sweat! I might need to do it more often. Probably good to switch it up from running once in a while. I picked the running pace up too hard too fast and now I’ve got this little annoying injury that feels like not enough to stop running, but enough that I probably should stop running, at least for a little while. I’m just afraid that if I stop, I won’t start back up. And I’ve come too far for that.

Tuesdays are the best. Made meatball subs for dinner, kicked everyone’s ass at Uno No Mercy all night long, and started knitting another sweater for Pinot. It’s Penn State blue, so I am on a mission to finish it before the Penn State game on Thursday. One day? While I’m working and taking people to cheer and dance? NO PROBLEM.

This is definitely a last thing before bed just to check the box photo. But I will say that my major accomplishment today was fixing an Excel spreadsheet using formulas and dropdowns and tables and URLs. For someone who only knew the “sum” function before last December, I’m impressed with myself. And I just made my life 0.01% easier. Worth it!
