We made it home from Orlando despite some traffic. I believe I have bought the very last Christmas present for the year. I wish I didn’t enjoy shopping so much. Otherwise all I did today was make octopuses. I have completed 99 of them. Chances are very good I will hit 100 before Tuesday. I’ve…

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,…

Robin prepared the slow cooker Thai chicken we had for dinner tonight. We all remarked that the chicken must have dissolved into the sauce because it was cut too small before she cooked it, but then she said no, she didn’t put any chicken in it. She said she thought I was going to add…

Among the many things we did over the weekend, we finally hung my dad’s painting. This was always my favorite and I’m so thankful to have it now.

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.

Tuesday is like the free square in the middle of a Bingo board. Today we used it to buy new cheer shoes, make lemon ricotta pancakes, and watch Cars. And Robin read Harry Potter for the fourth time.

Two things: I ran my first 30-minute interval in years this morning and actually felt energized afterwards. And two, I was so cold watching Robin’s cheer practice that it took over an hour once I got home to get the feeling back in my hands and feet, even with socks, slippers, hoodie, fleece jacket, and…

Mondays and Wednesdays are marathons. At least today was fairly productive. Got some bills paid and some papers off my desk. Such a small thing, but a huge weight lifted because it’s been sitting undone for weeks. Now, at last, bed.

I spent some time on the back patio with Billy after dinner, just talking. I didn’t realize how much I missed that. I think I talked a little too much about myself, but it’s at least a start. We’re both feeling our way through this.

Without traffic, we made it home from Atlanta in an hour’s less time and used a quarter of a tank less gas to do it. This was a good trip, but I am exhausted. Four more days until the next one.

Today was the first day of school. It seemed to go pretty well. No one came home miserable, at least. Robin had a panic attack at cheer. She is feeling enormous pressure to do well on her team, which is both in her head and not in her head. I’m trying to help her build…

For some reason I said yes when Christina asked to host a sleepover with four of her friends, never expecting that any of them would actually say yes. All four of them are coming, although only two are actually spending the night. I had to clean the living room and kitchen for the first time…
