Christina had a dance competition today. It was a very long day – we left home at 12:45 and got home at 9:45, with no time for lunch or dinner. Christina looked great, though! It was the last time she’ll perform her trio. Big smiles on their faces! They won a judge’s choice award for electric energy, and they deserved it. That’s impressive after being there for nine hours. Proud of our girl!

I finished the day with a splitting headache. There is just so much riling me up at work and I can’t control my ire. I have a clearer idea of what I can throw off my plate; now I just need to find the time to do it. First I need to recover.

Made it to NJ in really great time. It’s so great to see Aunt Cathrine and Uncle Bob. We spent the afternoon and evening getting the grand tour and catching up on pretty much all the things. They seem so happy in their new place and I don’t blame them. This place is pretty awesome! They rented us the little guest apartment that is right next to theirs and it is really so very nice. I’m truly exhausted, though, and glad for some quiet time before going to bed. Tomorrow will be a long day – and hopefully not too wet. Please?

I had about six or seven minutes of blissful clarity in little 30-second bursts over the course of the day. There may be hope for me yet!

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 got some extra keyrings, so maybe I’ll do a few extra. And then I don’t want to see another octopus keychain ever again.

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, even though what I really wanted was pizza. I also wanted pizza for lunch, but had to settle for tuna because I only had 40 minutes to order it, pick it up, and eat it before my 3pm meeting, and what is the point if I eat it so fast that I can’t taste it? So pizza stays on the menu for Eventually. I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.

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 it before I turned the crock pot on. So we had slow cooker Thai… sauce. It was tasty even without the chicken.

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 king sized comforter on me. It was only 48 degrees outside, but for some reason it was unbearable. That is all.

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.
