    Robin did her first tumbling in about a month. Her back handspring needs a little work. She landed on her face more times than not… but she’ll get it. It was good to see her back at it.

    It is disgustingly humid outside tonight, but I need to do something to try to turn this day around, even if it is 9:42pm. Fresh air never did me wrong. Beer and baseball don’t hurt, either.

    Tonight I started a new NAMI Family to Family class online. I forget sometimes just how desperate I was when I first took the class, now 15 years ago. I hear it in people’s voices, the exhaustion, the sadness, the frustration, the overwhelming emotion, the helplessness and hopelessness… And I think about Mom and our…

    Billy and I went on a date on a rare night where no one had any evening activities planned. We enjoyed Italian delicacies and talked and it was nice. I especially loved that it was his suggestion. I was absolutely exhausted for some reason but enjoyed it anyway. It’s nice to feel loved.

    We did MORE tie dye today, and it came out fabulous. I also made the first ornament for my advent calendar, the Yankees won, and we went to see IF a second time, this time with Billy and Robin. I’m so jazzed with the tie dyeing… I may do more tomorrow. I’m straight outta 1965,…

    I didn’t realize there was a full moon until a cameraperson showed it at Yankees Stadium during the game. It was so bright, almost like daylight. Perfect night for werewolves.

    The power has been off and on tonight in the rain, which is funny because we’ve lived in this house for 11 years, including through a few hurricanes, and the power has never more than flickered before. It was out for about 15 minutes at one point and Christina was flipping out. Telling her about…

    My life is revolving around the bunny making. It now has a head, a face, two ears, two arms and half a body. It made waiting to have my car serviced and Christina’s dance classes pass by quite quickly. But the bunny butt will have to wait until tomorrow.

    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.

    Best part of my day was having all four of us eating together at the pizza place between Christina’s two dance classes. Good conversation and good food, good combination.

    I think we managed to make things right with Robin. At least she’s speaking to me again.

    I re-watched Apollo 13 after admiring the beautiful crescent moon tonight. Our universe is incredible. From atoms to galaxies and everything in between. And pizza. Do not forget pizza.

    It was a pretty typical day, with the bonus of talking to a friend I don’t talk to enough. I laughed a lot. Maybe too much. And stayed up too late. But it was good.

    Back to work today and back to work indeed. By 8:00 I had both kids not speaking to me. I put Pinot on the market for five cents and got no takers. I think it’s time for another day.

    After a few days of intense activity, I got knocked flat out with a cold. All I want is sleep and then more sleep.
