Pinot FINALLY got a haircut today. What a relief for everyone. He hates the car but loves the sunset.

We spent two hours at Java Game Haus playing Exploding Kittens, Christina’s favorite game. Apparently it wore her out.

I took some time to call people I haven’t spoken to in a while. I spent an awful lot of time talking about myself. All I have to say is people were very patient with me, and not bad at sounding interested.

I made meatball subs for dinner and Christina gave me the ultimate compliment when she said, “Wow! These are just like my favorite meatball subs at Subway! Only better!” How about that. I make better sandwiches than Subway. Write it down, folks.

Christina woke up this morning with a fever, so I had a partner at work today. And literally everyone on my team was out of the office, so I really didn’t do much either. Our house cleaners didn’t come and we had no food to cook. And yet we still had homemade pasta carbonara and Christina still made her funny jokes and work got done. Funny how that works.

I’ve hiked the trails at Losco Park about a thousand times, but today somehow I got turned around and ended up hiking the loop twice, turning a 1.5-mile hike into a 4+ mile hike. It wouldn’t have been that big a deal, except Christina and the dogs were with me and the dogs were exhausted and Christina didn’t really even want to come in the first place. They were all troopers, though. Christina didn’t even complain a little bit. At least the weather was nice. Gorgeous, in fact. One of the first fall days of the year.

It’s been like five minutes since I last took a picture of Pinot. Lest anyone feel deprived.

He may look innocent, but this ball of fluff dug a hole under our fence into the neighbor’s yard, which we discovered just as we were leaving for school. We could hear him, but couldn’t see him. We came back to the house to find treats to lure him back but as we got to the door, he was trotting in behind us, looking so proud of himself, covered in dirt from head to toe. One of these days he’s going to dig into the yard with the two dogs that want to eat him alive. Cute won’t save you every time, dude.

Had lunch with Molly, and even though I haven’t really wanted to talk, it was nice to talk. I realize through talking that I am actually dealing with a lot. It’s not just in my head. Sometimes it feels like I should be handling things better.

Today was the first day of school. It seemed to go pretty well. No one came home miserable, at least. Robin had a panic attack at cheer. She is feeling enormous pressure to do well on her team, which is both in her head and not in her head. I’m trying to help her build up more self confidence so that she can feel the pressure as a form of encouragement rather than criticism. I don’t want her to give up what she loves because she doesn’t feel she’s good enough. Of course she’s good enough. Now to get her to believe it.

I have a lot to think over in the next few weeks. Trying not to get too overwhelmed. Grateful for my closest friends. And Pinot, who manages to find all the places.

My brain isn’t quite functioning at full capacity, but on the flip side, I am covered in living, loving creatures.

Billy removed the tree that was growing in our gutter above the garage today. That ALMOST makes up for leaving me with a week’s worth of dirty dishes to wash. Guess he lives to see another day.
