    I’m really enjoying my new job. Like, a lot. I haven’t even officially started and I’ve accomplished so much. And it’s been fun! Work? Fun? Who expected that? Outside of work, I’ve had to put my running shoes on the shelf for a few weeks, which has been difficult. I have a mild piriformis strain,…

    I willingly got up at 6:15am ON A SATURDAY to go for a group run at Ed Austin Park. There is a free timed 5k there every week and a couple friends of mine go regularly. I’m proud of myself for many reasons: Getting out of bed before daylight, and going to a place I…

    The last of the Corona and lime. Gotta say that the novelty wore off somewhere around the third bottle. Looking forward to going back to IPAs.

    It is disgustingly humid outside tonight, but I need to do something to try to turn this day around, even if it is 9:42pm. Fresh air never did me wrong. Beer and baseball don’t hurt, either.

    Nothing seemed to go right today. All week long I’ve been looking forward to reverse tie dyeing this weekend. I put undiluted bleach on my black shirt for 20 minutes and it didn’t fade even a little bit. I guess it’s because it’s not cotton. Then we installed a new Ring doorbell, and it worked…

    How did Billy’s wrestling boosters know how much I love craft beer?

    It’s another cheer weekend and this weekend we’re in West Palm Beach. Billy stayed home, so it’ll be a girls weekend for us. So far we’re living it up with calzones and Hershey bars. Doesn’t get better than this, folks.

    Today I pissed Robin off because I refused to talk to her until she stopped screaming at me. She got so angry that she slammed her door in my face and threw a sneaker at the door as hard as she could for good measure. I guess sometimes you just can’t be calm or reasonable,…

    I didn’t get to have my birthday martini on my birthday, so we went out tonight and celebrated my mom on the anniversary of the day she died. A martini costs the same as a two-course entree and soft drink. The days have been getting away from me, but it’s important for me to remember.…

    I’ve got a couple Maine beers left to help keep me there just a little longer. But it’s back to dance class and food shopping and cooking for myself. Vacation is always better than real life.

    Today I had to slow myself down and hold my tongue and instead just sit beside my daughter while she cried. I didn’t ask why, I didn’t beg her to talk to me, I didn’t try to make her feel better, I just sat with her, stroking her hair, until slowly the tears gave way…

    We went to Rosina and Dion’s house for a sleepover last night. I had plans to make pina coladas, and not wanting to leave the kids out, I brought the stuff to make Shirley Temples too. In the end, no pina coladas ever got made, but Robin did have enough Shirley Temples to use up…
