Robin had a tough day that involved a cell phone that went to a school event it was not allowed to go to. I am trying to separate making bad decisions from being a bad person for her with minimal success. I hope someday it sinks in. That day was not today.

Pinot FINALLY got a haircut today. What a relief for everyone. He hates the car but loves the sunset.

We spent two hours at Java Game Haus playing Exploding Kittens, Christina’s favorite game. Apparently it wore her out.

I took some time to call people I haven’t spoken to in a while. I spent an awful lot of time talking about myself. All I have to say is people were very patient with me, and not bad at sounding interested.

I got Robin this puppy and added some lavender oil to try to help soothe her anxiety. He looks just like Pinot, her favorite living being on Earth. I think it works somewhat. I thought for sure she’d name him Pinot Jr., but she calls him Bob. In her book, everyone is Bob. It makes…

I made meatball subs for dinner and Christina gave me the ultimate compliment when she said, “Wow! These are just like my favorite meatball subs at Subway! Only better!” How about that. I make better sandwiches than Subway. Write it down, folks.

I’ve hiked the trails at Losco Park about a thousand times, but today somehow I got turned around and ended up hiking the loop twice, turning a 1.5-mile hike into a 4+ mile hike. It wouldn’t have been that big a deal, except Christina and the dogs were with me and the dogs were exhausted…

He may look innocent, but this ball of fluff dug a hole under our fence into the neighbor’s yard, which we discovered just as we were leaving for school. We could hear him, but couldn’t see him. We came back to the house to find treats to lure him back but as we got to…

Had lunch with Molly, and even though I haven’t really wanted to talk, it was nice to talk. I realize through talking that I am actually dealing with a lot. It’s not just in my head. Sometimes it feels like I should be handling things better.

Today was the first day of school. It seemed to go pretty well. No one came home miserable, at least. Robin had a panic attack at cheer. She is feeling enormous pressure to do well on her team, which is both in her head and not in her head. I’m trying to help her build…
