1. JB took a very proactive lead in helping keep Smol Acrobat entertained when I was working on paperwork this weekend and then played with them the whole time at the playground when we walked to the park. They aren’t usually that focused and these outings are more often like handling two only children wanting things they want when they want it.

1. The WordPress app occasionally has trouble with uploading posts when I’m on WiFi. I’ve learned to toggle it off when I’m ready to post and back on again. This weekend it decided to quit uploading anything entirely, regardless of my connection, which was quite the fitting cap to this awful week. Thankfully after an hour of fruitless troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling the app did the trick. Could have been worse.

2. I couldn’t make my Monday therapy make up appointment between illness and stunningly bad news but thank goodness for my Saturday appointment because, well, awful week.

It’s been a hard week.

That kiddo beamed like the sun for me so these are precious.

1. I’m making incremental but mostly steady progress gathering stuff for donations: books the kids have outgrown or have duplicates of; hand me down Legos; collected puzzles that can go to a new home. These will ship out in a large box. 🎉

Actually, I should ship the books in a medium box or someone is going to throw out their back carrying it.

1. Oops, sort of fell down on the job on this post! It’s been A WEEK. Working til midnight most nights and still feeling like I’m a hamster in a wheel the next morning. But the week is over!
