Spring break was supposed to start today! This is a little sad, but also good because it means that I have no patients scheduled for the week (I was supposed to be off) and neither does Josh. It gives us time to continue adjusting…

Changing planners, for me, was a good move. You know all of those color coded schedules? (Or even the analog version I posted)? They are great, and to some extent helpful, when they are realistic. But . . . THEY ARE ONLY SHOWING THE…

I think I might . . . switch planners for a little while!? I know, random. And not really a Big Deal. But I think I might. I keep seeing the plans I made in my Hobonichi, and it just makes me sad. Next…

Will I keep titling the posts “Day ###” when we are in the 20s and beyond? I guess I will have to make that decision down the road. I do feel like I am documenting some journey — one that will hopefully END —…

School is closed. Spring break was slated to start the week after next (3/23), but we didn’t find out until 4:30 pm today that the kids will not be back until further notice. Cameron was happy. Annabel cried. (She also correctly insinuated that we…

No, not the one about travel. We have decided not to go. And we are preparing for more social distancing. I am at peace with this although expect some future strategizing/coping posts, because I need to write them. The other one, ~10 days ago…
