    If you look carefully, you’ll see some blue sky. It didn’t last long, but I did enjoy the use of my sunglasses a few times today. Christina and I went to the pool, but I guess the hours changed in September and we missed it. But I made two more ornaments for the advent calendar,…

    I finally had a day with nothing to do except work. And I did a shit-ton of it, too. Now if I could just get to the pool… I’d be golden.

    I had a tough day at work. A LOT of anger, some tears. And then it thundered when I had planned to go to the pool and I took the kids out to eat and forgot to bring my wallet. I’m continuing to watch the Ken Burns Civil War documentary and started to read a…

    Church, then games at Java Game Haus, then food shopping, then dinner with friends (yes, friends in Jax!), then another episode of the Ken Burns film about the Civil War. I’m a little obsessed. I think there is a clue in it that we need in order to solve the problems we face today. I…

    I was having a pretty good day until an hour before bedtime when I realized that Robin’s time limit was off on her phone. I turned it off and she hasn’t spoken to me since. I hate her phone and I want to throw it into the ocean. I miss her.

    I am so glad the weekend is finally here. This week has felt so long. Mostly I just want to sleep past 8am.

    The highlight of my day was driving from dance class to cheer practice in 20 minutes without speeding, almost half the time it normally takes when I do it an hour earlier. Also today I really appreciated my daughters’ smiles. They fill me up on bad days.

    I’m always excited when a new flower appears in the garden. This one’s blooming, as well as all the hydrangea and milkweed. It looks like a proper garden. Maybe I can do this after all. I better not get too cocky.

    Robin got a walking boot today and smiled huge when she literally threw her crutches to the floor and walked away. I’m just happy because now she can empty the dishwasher and get her own glasses of water.

    I might have quit therapy today. We also made delicious chicken tikka masala for dinner and I took a shower. I bowed out of the worship committee at church and I feel so relieved. Feeling generally out of it. I haven’t even been able to put my heart into complaining this week. Maybe I need…

    The power has been off and on tonight in the rain, which is funny because we’ve lived in this house for 11 years, including through a few hurricanes, and the power has never more than flickered before. It was out for about 15 minutes at one point and Christina was flipping out. Telling her about…

    Billy and I started working on our murder mystery jigsaw puzzle and it is so fun. I’m a nerd. We also got to have hamburgers and hot dogs on the back patio and draw until the sun went down and it was perfect. I’ve gotten everything I asked for in life. Bonus was this photo-bombing…

    Robin got a back handspring without a spot for the first time today! I don’t know how these things progress, but maybe she’ll have one in time for next year’s cheer tryouts? Or at least maybe she’ll be close. She’s got a few more weeks. She is so proud of herself, as well she should…

    Highlights in my day: Watching Robin work on her back handspring, weeding the gardens, worship team meeting, baked ziti, and of course bunny making. Not highlights: Work.

    People say you should stop to smell the roses. Right now it’s time to stop and smell the jasmine.
