I took a short nap this morning because Tommy and I were up late last night making his lunches for the week after getting home from hockey. Since we were gone all day yesterday, we woke up early to drive to the mountains and take some pictures. While there, we hiked up the mountain to…

Baking bread
Our Keurig is pretty cool. It makes crema – the golden-brown foam on espresso. To get good crema, you can raise the base to bring the cup closer to the spout. Today I learned a lesson: make sure the base is locked in place. I broke my favorite mug this morning because the base wasn’t…
Nostalgia
Karissa and Kel are in San Diego. Karissa’s currently in line to pick up her TwitchCon badge, and I’m excited for her – she’s been looking forward to this convention for a while. With Tommy at band practice tonight, it’s just me, Alex, and Lexi for dinner. Alex and Lexi went to the store this…
Showing emotions
We didn’t make it to Alexis’s dental appointment this morning because Kel had a job interview and wasn’t home in time to take her. Alexis rescheduled for tomorrow morning, and Alex will take her instead. Kel and Karissa are heading to California in the morning for TwitchCon – I’m sure they’ll have a great time….
Emotions
I’ve realized that I struggle to convey my excitement. I genuinely feel it – it pulses within me – but I hesitate to reveal it. I don’t think I’ve ever truly displayed my enthusiasm, at least not outwardly. As a child, I recall being told I was too loud whenever I was excited. Gradually, I…
Rainy Monday
Kel made me breakfast this morning—eggs and a tortilla. It was really nice of her. I’m not sure what to have for lunch since I’m not very hungry, but maybe later I’ll make a sandwich. For now, I just made myself some matcha tea. Speaking of things to do later, I noticed there’s a documentary…
Finally Friday!
I finally got my lab work done today. Since the doctor called yesterday to confirm that my lab orders were at Tricore, I went in this morning to have my blood drawn. The nurse was excellent— I barely felt the needle, and there isn’t even a bruise left behind. I’m about 90% done with The…
Slow day
Both girls went to Tricore this morning for their blood draws. I went in with Alexis, and she didn’t pass out -I’m so happy about that! Karissa went in by herself; she was a little nervous but did fine. Afterward, the girls treated themselves to Starbucks for a drink and then went to Blake’s for…
All in the heart
Today has felt so long, and it’s not even over yet! Though honestly, it wasn’t a bad day. Karissa finally had her long-awaited cardiology appointment, and I’m just relieved it didn’t get cancelled. Kel had an orientation today, so Alex took Karissa and me to the appointment. We hadn’t been to this clinic before, and…
Felt like a Monday
Remember when I went to Tricore the first time and found out there were no lab orders for me, so I had to call the doctor to have them resend them? Well, I went back to Tricore this morning to finally get my lab work done, and once again—no orders for me. I called the…
