This week was simultaneously too long and so short and I hate that feeling but we have made it through!
Maybe I’ll cut my hair again this weekend.

1. We watched Moana 2 together. JB declared the songs in 2 to be superior to the first but I’m not feeling it. The songs sound fine but none of them catch the brain in the same way.
2. The kids and I took advantage of a beautiful day to do a lot of yardwork together. We also ran loads of laundry, put away clean laundry and dishes, and scrubbed tiles (collectively). It was a very productive and active few hours that felt good for once. I won’t think hard about the price I paid for it.
Actions this week: I downloaded our Social Security information to have on hand.
I’ve checked the kids’ MMR vaccine statuses. I couldn’t remember if Smol Acrobat had gotten their second one yet and that was making me antsy. Yes, they have, so both kids are as protected as they can be. I’m not positive if PiC and I each got two MMRs or not, he might be in the age group that didn’t get a second one routinely. I may request boosters for both of us just in case.
Helping folks: R. S. A. Garcia, a speculative fiction writer from Trinidad and Tobago is scheduled to undergo three surgeries for cancer while out of work. She should have undergone surgery mid-March but the hospital royally forked that up and put them in an even tougher financial position as a result. They need help getting through to the surgery and beyond. Every little bit makes a difference.

1. We’d committed to seeing a pair of very local friends regularly this year and we have successfully hosted the second get together of the year! It was a lot of fun.
Challenges this week: this was a very hard week emotionally in so many ways.

1. It’s been a crap couple of weeks… Months? For my health, physically and mentally, but we’re still here. Still holding on.

1. I restarted reading the Kate Daniels books from the library again for comfort reading.
2. I baked a cornbread! Two – since I had juuuuust enough ingredients to double the recipe and froze one against the day I need cornbread but have no energy to bake one.
3. What a WEEK.
