    It was stormy today, which is just my kind of day. Lots of thunder, which excited me, but deeply agitated Jackson. Poor boy.

    I wasn’t sure what I was going to do all evening by myself, but the kids took care of that, spending 90 minutes on FaceTime with me after dinner. They all seem to be hanging in while I’m away.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The kids got glasses to watch the eclipse and I was counting on borrowing them so I could see it too, but they both lost them before the end of the day. The best I could do was look through my tinted sunroof with my sunglasses on for a tenth of a second, which was…

    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.

    I feel like I’m running a marathon while balancing a watermelon on my head. I’ve already made it 20 miles, but the last six miles feel almost impossible. And people keep tossing tennis balls at me, asking me to juggle them while I run. I am enjoying the view and I always appreciate a challenge,…

    We wrapped up Christina’s birthday party this morning with french toast and bacon. I think the girls finally fell asleep around 5am. Then Robin went to a movie with a friend. I did some sewing and all in all it was a pretty good day.

    Jupiter. This week has been a test of patience. I have been trying for almost a week to get my tire replaced, but no one will acknowledge my existence when I call the dealership. I have been leaving unanswered voicemails for days. Our heat broke down at the coldest point of the winter so far,…

    Stood in line for 45 minutes at the Post Office this morning and ended up being an hour late for work. And yet so many people are out of the office that I still got two days’ worth of work done anyway. Then spent the usual two hours driving around Jacksonville, made some yummy shrimp…

    Against my better judgment, I solved a longstanding problem at work today. It was so simple and so drastic an improvement, it’s ridiculous that no one had ever thought of it before. Problem solved, I guess.

    Jupiter. In astrology, it represents higher learning. I think I still have a lot to learn. Today was a challenge. I didn’t realize Billy had a football game, we haven’t gone food shopping this week so the kids didn’t have dinner, and I had chorus rehearsal. Tonight’s lesson was: trust your inner strength. You can…
