I completely forgot about Robin’s dentist appointment today. Billy asked me something about it right around the time I should already have had Robin in the car and been on the way. I ran out the door and made it to school in five minutes and they almost didn’t let me pick her up because dismissal was starting. I must have looked either desperate or pitiful, or maybe both, because she called for Robin anyway. We got stuck at a traffic light that wouldn’t change or else we would only have been about two minutes late. Which is impressive because I left the house 15 minutes before the appointment time. All that hustling was for nothing, though, because the dentist was 40 minutes late. Sigh. So much for my superpowers.

February 4
Christina now has the flu. At least once she’s done with it, we’ll all be done with it. Sheesh. Work is still beating my butt, but I took this afternoon “off” (just canceled my meetings) and managed to mostly more or less catch up. I feel a little better tonight than I did yesterday. The soap on my office window seems to have helped. No birds flew into their own reflection today. That’s a relief. I guess that’s about it for today. Not too exciting.

Billy and I had a long, complicated conversation the other day about who was going to take Christina to dance on Wednesdays now that he’s not coaching in the afternoons. In the end everything stayed the same. Turns out that even though it’s inconvenient, I really like the 45 minutes I get to spend with Christina eating pizza in between classes. We don’t always talk about much, and sometimes we end up on devices, but it’s special time just for us and I didn’t want to give it up. And then after dinner, I get one on one time with Billy at home before he has to go pick her up. So it’s kind of a win-win.
