Today was Billy’s birthday. I had bigger plans for the celebration, but exhaustion took over and I spent most of the day trying to stay awake. Robin did make a giant chocolate chip cookie, which is sort of like a cake, but it had no candles and no song to go with it. I did manage to make lasagna, which was pretty tasty if I say so myself. Also went food shopping and am 90% done with my laundry (it’s drying) and the kitchen is clean. Now to bed so I can get up before dawn to go running. I feel too tired to be excited about it.

Robin very grudgingly gave up her phone and access to her bedroom for a full four hours this evening. She was delightfully bored, which manifested in things like wearing my knitting bag on her head, contorting her body into impossible positions on the couch, and casually licking my arm, pretending to be Pinot. I don’t know about her, but I enjoyed it immensely.

Some days rush past without a moment to think about what’s happening. I feel like a frenzied cat, trying to make sure everything is taken care of for this weekend – connecting Billy with Christina’s friend for her sleepover, getting Christina’s costumes together for her dress rehearsal on Monday, showing Billy how to make a cinnamon bun with a center part in Christina’s hair, making sure dance waivers are signed and turned in, making sure Robin is packed, not to mention wrapping up at work all the way up to the last minute before dance and a day off tomorrow, dinner, shower… I do not have to do all these things. Billy is a capable human being willing to help. I absolutely have a control problem and I acknowledge that. Sometimes I forget to work on it. Hey, but I did delegate something at work at the last minute. That took something out of me, but I did it. Win!
