We took my Dad & the dogs all out to Point Isabel this morning, which is a huge dog park on the Bay, where the dogs can swim and run for miles and miles. It also has a coffeeshop and a commercial dog-bathing place, which is great. Now I'm letting my cooked rhubarb cool before I try to make rhubarb curd, and thinking about napping before our afternoon bike ride.
I hope everyone has a pleasant day.
how is your dad away from your mom?
Oh, Point Isabel is good times! I need to get Walter over there soon, our choices for off-leash running nearby are disappearing.
So...lassitude is going around.
I need a nap and instead I am watching All of the Racing.
I've been doing this long enough that I can generally stack all of the races together when I don't feel like being up at 4:30 a.m. for Monaco. We all have our skillsets. Only 600 miles to go.

He's okay. He seems a bit better with more external support for her, and he's more willing to leave her alone. But he's not a chatty guy, and it's a bit hard to tell.
Being willing to be away from her (which is important because he'll burn out otherwise and that helps no one) is big. And accepting the outside support. I am thinking of you guys, Consuela. You are in a really rough place and it is so hard to figure out the best steps.
hey people with dark hair who add bright color to it? DO you bleach before you can add color? I am thinking of doing something to my hair. maybe a really bright red or purple or a pink.
I have to bleach my streaks before I color them.
I was just going to say I have to bleach a ton to get color in it.
I cleaned the kids' closet out today, a job that was causing anxiety every time I went into their room.
K is cutting the brisket (against the grain) and it goes back into the oven for an hour. I should got through kids' drawers and pull out clothes.
Ugh. Third day in a row with a temper tantrum. This had Isaac trying to kick me in the face. He was completely flooded and out of control. He's trying to calm down now. I am so done with this behavior.

I should do that too so I can take a load to donate.
Cody and Franny are putting up the tent in the front yard so she can pretend it's a treehouse.
