1. We donated to our local CASA chapter, our local homeless shelter, a dog rescue, and The Human Utility.
2. We’re working on more Lakota donations! I’m rounding up good used clothing, toys, books, and some other odds and ends to ship.
3. PiC spotted a sale on Dave’s Killer Bread ($1.44 a loaf) and ibotta had a $1.50 rebate per loaf. This is the first time I’ve caught such a deal, we rarely buy the brands they promote.

1. We donated to support Kara Perez, Alice Wong, two Donors Choose projects and Something Positive.

1. I’m having some slow burn revelations that likely impact my mental and physical health (positively, one hopes but who knows).

1. Smol Acrobat and JB got to pet a friendly cat!

1. It cost an arm and a leg but I’m so very glad that we did get the backyard renovated when we did. We didn’t do anything fancy, we just made it less of a jungle and more of a safe outdoor place for all the dogs and kids to hang out. They make their own fun: finding the sunbeams, finding ways to make a mess, raking the potato plants unnecessarily.

1. I had one semi good parenting moment this week (month/year). JB sat and talked to me about an incident they didn’t feel good about and didn’t want to tell anyone else about.
I haven’t felt like a present or good enough parent in a really long time and I have deeply worried that that would affect their trust in me. Hell, it eroded my trust in me! But I suppose I was working from a lot less self trust to begin with.
2. We ran into a handful of old daycare friends this week and it was quite nice catching up with them.
3. Smol Acrobat’s willingness to wave goodbye to friends we know and love but they haven’t quite yet embraced was purchased with three snacks.
