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…

There’s not much to say about today. I’m trying to write where I have very little inspiration and I’m taking photos right before bed just to check the box. There was cavatappi pasta and Sondheim and Webber singing and now I am going to pass out from exhaustion.

This past week has been an emotional marathon. And there is no end in sight.
