The endless anxiety continues. I flaked on booking our summer camping reservations at Acadia and now there’s nothing available. That’s not helping my mood. Trying Natural Calm and taking walks outside with the dogs. Been editing photos from a shoot with the cheer team a week or so ago. I’m glad to have an outlet.

There are little signs of life in the backyard, despite my neglect. I thought this desert rose was a goner after our couple of hard freezes, but there is new life growing there amid the dead stuff. I want to spend some time this weekend cleaning out all that is dead and/or broken from the yard, and then in the coming weeks I will start adding things where there is room. I’m thinking some mulch and maybe some new plants. The kids definitely need new swings. I would love a spot to sit and read in the shade with a beer or a glass of wine. I just have to do it.

Finally a day where I get to sit down and hear myself think. I actually had time to help Robin with her homework and to take a photo before 10pm. I got to have lunch with chorus friends and even managed to create a useful spreadsheet with formulas, conditional formatting, and selective sheet protection that I also managed to share with the rest of my team so they could use it too. I felt like a genius, even if it did take me half the day.

Went back to the gym this morning after a string of mild injuries, then a day filled with work, then scrambled to cook and eat dinner in 45 minutes (unless you make hot dogs in the microwave, I don’t think it can be done), took the kids to cheer practice, led my first-ever NAMI Peer to Peer class on Zoom, put the kids to bed, took out the trash, and now I’m too exhausted to go to sleep. This is the only photo I can manage today.

I had all these plans today that just didn’t happen. For one thing, my leg is still killing me from falling in the hole on Monday, so hiking is out. Then I left my phone at home when I went out to take pictures. Then I couldn’t stay awake because I ran out of my medication a couple days ago. So I guess I am going to have to make the most of tomorrow.
