It was such a stressful day at work. I haven’t quite been able to step out of it. But we learned today that Vienna is in Austria, not Belgium. Thank you, Alexa. I sang the song to Christina and to my surprise, she said, “I know that song!” Go figure.

Christina woke me up at 8:40 this morning asking, “are we leaving?” She had dance class at 9:00 and I totally forgot. I took her in my pajamas with my crazy morning hair, teeth unbrushed, braless, and without even going to the bathroom to pee and we got there right on time. Later I took Robin to her tumbling class and then spent pretty much the entire rest of the day editing vacation photos. I’ve gotten through about 35 photos, which feels like a lot but is barely anything. I’m quite tired of looking at my computer, but the photos are looking great. I’m realizing just how little I understand Photoshop. I just try things and see what happens. I fear that what looks good on the screen may look completely phony once printed. Oh well. Today I also bought supplies to make something at Billy’s request. He wants a fabric wall hanging in the shape of the National Parks arrowhead logo to put our National Parks pins and patches on. I know about as much about making those (as if there are others) as I do about Photoshop, but I asked ChatGPT and if nothing else, it made me laugh. Time will tell, for the photos and the arrowhead.

My ankle still hurts after playing it “safe” and running on the sidewalk in the dark and not on the street, where I’m more likely to get run over if someone doesn’t see me. I was rewarded for that decision before I even rounded the corner, because I turned my ankle on some uneven sidewalk. It just keeps hurting more and more, which is annoying because I only got like two runs in after my last injury. The good news is it’s starting to feel better today, but with traveling next week, I will have to wait a little bit longer for my running fix. The good news is I found my headlamp, so I’ll be running on the flat pavement from now on.

I had the day off from work. I was disappointed that the weather didn’t hold out for paddling, so instead I went out for coffee and wrote for hours. As much as I love writing, it still felt like a waste of a day. I don’t know who will ever hear or read what I’m writing, so it feels kind of pointless. As does reading, which is just a way to pass time. It feels like everything I do is just a way to pass time. I’m not getting much out of it. Hence a long, long line of pretty shitty photos of basically nothing. I am not sure how to get out of this rut.
