July 18
It was a pretty quiet day, which was welcome. Christina’s and my new paddleboards arrived today and I officially put in for a day off next week to go out with her. I finished my latest knitting project, which means I officially have nothing in the works at all. I’m even almost done with my…

Christina is getting ready for fifth grade graduation, so tonight we looked at my fifth grade yearbook. Is it sad that I looked through it and only felt rage for all the many people who were so shitty to me back then? I’m so glad my kids have not had the experience I did at…

Tonight we played That Escalated Quickly, and Christina came up with some hairbrained response that left Billy wrecked with uncontrollable laughter. I truly thought I was going to have to take him to the emergency room, he was laughing so hard. Poor Christina was so embarrassed that she actually left the house, but we won…

And yet she ordered an additional test anyway, just to complete the irritating circumstance. I like her a lot,…

Today was an endless marathon of activity. Drop off kids at school, physical therapy at gym, treadmill “run,” doing dishes, work, cleaners came, pick up kids from school, drive Christina to dance, drive Robin to cheer, make dinner, pick up Christina from dance, pick up Robin from cheer. Typical Monday.

I tried to steal time where I could get it today with marginal success. It might be time for more drastic measures. Whatever they are.

My office hasn’t been this organized in months, maybe longer. I finally rehung photos that fell off the wall months ago and cleaned out my yarn stash. You can see my coffee table, craft tray and desk again. I’ve trimmed all the dead leaves off my plant. You can open my closet doors. I’ve finished…

I spent some time shopping online using the massive store credit I have from earlier this year when my account was hacked and some jerk bought some expensive appliance on my card but the store wouldn’t give me a refund. I guess this is the best possible outcome of that.
