    Today was tough. Lots of unexpected tears. I’m exhausted from the exertion of it. But I bought a shit-ton of shoes and some pizza and I guess spending money I don’t have has its value too.

    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.

    I started tracking food on Weight Watchers again today. My turkey sandwich was worth half my points for the whole day. At least it tasted good. I can see I’m going to have to work harder at this.

    On today’s agenda: Dance class, pork loin and roasted potatoes, leading a church workshop on writing sermons. On that last topic: What the hell do I know about writing sermons? This should be fun.

    It’s been a long time since I took an actual photograph with an actual camera, let alone in low light. I think it shows.

    I took the kids and dogs on my traditional New Year’s Day hike, this year to the Julington-Durbin Creek Preserve, and oh, the drama. I knew the girls wouldn’t want to go on a long hike, so I took them down a side trail to cut off the longer loop. It was a little grown over and Christina cried the whole way, saying we were lost, that we’d never find our way out, that we would be eaten by bears and Daddy would have to live alone, that she wanted to go back and take the long way, who cares about her feet? Then there were some briars on the trail and I had to pull a couple out of Jackson’s paws and that sealed it for Christina. She says she’ll never go on another hike with me again, even though we were never lost. And that’s how we’re kicking off 2023. 🎉
