- I didn’t get as much done yesterday as I would have liked, but I did more than the minimum. I even responded to a bridal shower invitation and sent a gift two weeks before the deadline, if you can believe it. Perhaps I am finally learning not to procrastinate on such things.
- While playing a game of Stinker this week, one of the questions was, “What do you say to guests to let them know it’s time to leave?” Livia was the last in line to show her answer, and she seemed unhappy with it. But, when the rest of us read it, we burst into laughter (the good kind), because it was hysterical. It said, “Go die in toilet!” The whole point of Stinker is to work within the limitations of the letters you’re given and come up with unusual answers. Needless to say, she won the round.
- Life was easier when I didn’t know the password for giving the kids more computer time. Now they’re always asking me for extra time. According to Livia I’m more likely to give in than her dad is. She said I’m a softie. I don’t like being a softie.
- I’ve been putting on a good front, I think, but I’m so very tired of the way things are. I want to go back into the world and have a normal life again. And at the same time, I’m irritated by everyone who wants me to go back to normal before I’ve even finished my vaccines. I’ll be done in three weeks. Three. That’s all. I refuse to jump the gun. The world’s just going to have to wait.
- The yard is once again full of green things. Thank you, Spring.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
