August 22
It was a pretty low-key day. I’m finally more caught up at work and ready to start kicking ass. Made a nice dinner of chicken and olive artichoke tapenade, yum. Did a crossword puzzle and basically chilled out. Nice way to end a week.

I’m starting to get some footing back at work, which is just to say I wrap the day up with a headache, but not nausea too. Billy’s work schedule is bananas right now and he had no choice but to sleep through dinner, so it was just the girls and me tonight for beef burritos,…

Gabby announced today that she is closing the gym after this summer. For some reason this makes me sad, as angry as I was just a few days ago. As sure as I was that another season wouldn’t be possible for her, I’m sorry for her. I wish it could have been better, for everyone.

Robin’s cheer practice was cancelled tonight due to too many people out. Robin and I were both pretty happy to have the time back. I worked on a jigsaw puzzle and cooked dinner, and she did whatever she does in her room all day long. We even got to eat together as a family, which…

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with something to take a picture of on a day where nothing exciting really happened. Especially when Pinot leaves his diarrhea poop ALL over the dining room floor for me to step in. Jackson is the dog I still like.

It’s been chilly lately. Today it was under 50 degrees when I went outside with the dogs, but in the sun it felt warmer. I always forget when I’m inside how rejuvenating it is to be outside, even lying in dead grass looking at the dead flowers in my garden. Jackson gets it.

I knitted half a sock today, which means I didn’t move from my spot on the couch for like six hours, except to eat dinner. That’s what Sundays are for, though, right?

It was a slow day filled with doing practically nothing. But Jackson came and posed for me with his Albert Einstein eyebrows. So precious.

Had a nice team event at work and got to see Christina’s play in the Festival of Courage. This will be our last one! The check-out procedure afterwards was a disaster and I felt so horrible for Ms. LaTanya, who was getting reamed out by multiple parents, as though she wasn’t sitting up front all…

My boy doesn’t like storms, and it stormed all day today. It stormed this morning before we woke up, and a branch from the tree my neighbor warned me about fell through the roof of her pergola. It absolutely destroyed me. I cried for half an hour. I couldn’t even bring myself to go over…

Homage to the dog who doesn’t get nearly enough attention but honestly would rather not so thanks anyway.

I almost forgot to take a photo for the first time in almost 15 months. Remembered at the last minute. All the decorating is done and now I’m ready for basketball. It’s been a pretty good spring break, the kind where going back to real life absolutely sucks. Got to milk what’s left for all…

Somehow even though I planned ahead, I am up past midnight finishing crafts for Friendship Day at school tomorrow. They came out pretty nice, I think. I hope people like them.
