You’re asking my friend who has a temperature spread of 100oC any given year, and a crazy premier.

Finally got my daughter to finish last week’s schoolwork. By 10 pm Sunday night. 
Husband and I have discussed it and we think maybe this “have a teenager” thing was a mistake. We’d like our sweet 7-year-old back now.

I was very pleased that my bird feeder attracted a cardinal even though I haven’t put out the bird seed yet. I thought I was going to get a nice picture but I wasn’t quite fast enough so it’s just a blur. The tiniest of victories.

I made triple chocolate cupcakes (from a mix) with chocolate mocha confectioners sugar icing (homemade). It’s been years since I had that style of icing. I’d forgotten how much I like it.

I paid off my last debt today! ~happy dance~
Now as a reward we are going to buy a TV that isn’t dying a slow, what’s-happening-I-can’t-see death.

Got the baby down for her first nap on the first try. Slept pretty well overnight. Another solo day, but hopefully I’m more equipped for this one!

I used a new sewing pattern and it worked really well!
(Complaint: I realised afterwards that the tension was off and now need to sew over all the pieces for stability).

On Saturday, D bought a four-pack of blueberry soda that we’d never tried before. I thought it was delicious and had a bottle on Saturday and a bottle on Sunday; D also had a bottle. On Monday, I was at work and felt sad that there would be no more blueberry soda left. When I got home from work, totally unprompted, D told me that he had left the last blueberry soda for me, since I liked it so much.

I was feeling low but dogs and a kid swarmed me and smothered me with affection. I still feel low, but also very lucky.
Plus, cinco de mayo feast tonight.

I seem to be having a rare month where PMS is not affecting my pain levels or ability to be active. Who knows why? I wish I knew why so I could you know…make this a repeat occurrence…but I’ll just enjoy it while it lasts!

Ok, so I’m done feeling sorry for myself for the day so here’s a bunch of recent Tony Victors:
- I reorganized my bathroom and closet.
- Husband bought me some fancy pens and notebooks on a whim.
- There is a family of squirrels including two BABIES that are literally right outside our window so we get to see them all the time. I love them.
- My kitty has been playing with the same giant piece of packing paper for like 3 days now. He loves it, he lives there now, it is his home:

Also feeling sorry for myself, husband has been gone and will be gone another ?? Days (probably 3). So I’m going to praise myself.
- I washed my hair today.
- I’ve taken a walk every day except the very stormy one.
- I have eaten meals regularly, and have kept on track for doing solids for the baby.
- I have slept adequate amounts.
- Dishes, trash, and laundry have all stayed under control.
- I haven’t murdered my dog yet.
- I’m heavily using the library’s audiobooks and haven’t resorted to using the TV to distract the baby, except for once to unload the dishwasher. (We try to limit screen time- no judgement to families who don’t, just something I try to prioritize).
- I asked for help today. My neighbor is coming and taking my dog for a play date with her dog for a couple hours.

YES! It’s been a long time coming. There are some other issues that have been in the legislative works for a very long time that haven’t happened yet but, progress, in a way that honors cultural tradition and involves guidance of people from those cultures.
