I’m not a fan of Sundays. I did a lot today and very little of it was fun. Washed sheets, made the bed, cleaned the kitchen, got coffee, fixed the a/c (did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?), went food shopping, did laundry. I did go out to dinner with Lauren and Monica and that was fun. Something came up in conversation about a friend whose daughter stopped speaking to her but she never gave up trying to have a relationship with her. The night kind of went sour for me after that because the guilt I carry having put my own mom through that is still a huge weight on my heart. But I came home and had dinner with my family and made the most of what I’m very lucky to have.

Billy broke out this puzzle the other day, which was a Christmas gift from 2024 that apparently got eaten by the game closet. It’s a fun one, definitely unique. I was happy to get back to the gym today after two weeks of work insanity. It felt like much longer than two weeks. Nice to be approaching a normal trajectory again.

Finished this puzzle today. Putting together all the crowd sections was hard. All the pieces looked basically the same, and the pieces didn’t fit together intuitively. I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. But I finished in time to go to cheer, where I also finished a sweater I’ve been working on for more than a year. I just have to block it now. Like the puzzle, it was a hard pattern to follow. I’m surprised it looks like a sweater at all, or that it fits. And then I came home from cheer, ate dinner, and fell asleep on the couch.

Billy took Christina to her dance classes today and I got the afternoon off. It was so nice not having my work day interrupted and getting to have dinner without rushing. I could get used to this.
