    My boy doesn’t like storms, and it stormed all day today. It stormed this morning before we woke up, and a branch from the tree my neighbor warned me about fell through the roof of her pergola. It absolutely destroyed me. I cried for half an hour. I couldn’t even bring myself to go over…

    Someone told me today that I’m doing good parenting. Some days it feels more like it than others. Today was one of the better days.

    I had a good talk with Robin (well, to Robin, because she never really said anything other than a barely perceptible nod or shake of the head). I don’t know if it helped her, but I felt better knowing I’d gotten my point across. Now she can make her own decisions and understand exactly where…

    Sleepy dog, sleepy mom. Robin has strep. I think I can sleep for a month.

    After Robin’s epic practice last night, I felt inspired to get my ass on the treadmill for the first time in almost a year and a half. My entire being hurts. I guess this is a good thing?

    Homage to the dog who doesn’t get nearly enough attention but honestly would rather not so thanks anyway.

    Christina has been having trouble sleeping, so came out to the living room to sleep. Pinot didn’t mind.

    Finally made it home and now it’s back to the usual. For a day or two, anyway.

    The best part of my day was when Robin joined us to play the Harry Potter game after dinner. Maybe one of these days I won’t even have to bribe her to join us.

    The kids started camp today, and Robin is fully back to cheer, even with her boot. She was able to stunt with her team and was thrilled about it! I am thrilled for her.

    We ate sooo much food today. Eight people ate ten sausages, eight cheeseburgers, four hot dogs, 85% of a cake, six brownies, coleslaw, macaroni salad, and half a bag of potato chips, not to mention six cans of beer and four liters of soda. What the hell? No one should eat anything else for at…

    Molly and I went to visit Susan this morning, which is an event that has stuck with me all day. Susan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a couple years ago and it seemed clear to me that she didn’t entirely know who we were when we arrived (without an invitation). It felt strange. I’m not sure…

    Christina and I played hooky today. We had plans to go paddling, but it rained, so we went to see the movie, If, instead. It was a good movie, but I cried from the opening credits all the way to the very end. So emotional! I also figured out the twist way early, but it…

    Highlights: Christina lost a tooth, pizza night with the fam, baseball on TV (the Yankees won), and interesting work statistics to be shared at staff meetings.

    I finished untangling some epically tangled yarn today. I bought it like 8 years ago and never used it because it became so epically tangled. But I’m thinking it wants to be a bunny. Because one bunny is simply not enough.
