Snow

We have a lot of snow...and a few more inches fell since this was taken.

The snow on the deck is taller than Isaac and it is getting very difficult to shovel because the banks are so high.

Bandana bandits

Another thing I don't like

Candy that says it's sour but isn't.

Monday: drier (dryer?)

I often wish that I wouldn't run the clothes drier around the same time that I expect Ben to come home.  Every once in a while there is a sound like the garage door opening and so I perk up, only to be disappointed when it is just the clothes drier.

I felt like giving up tonight. The problem is that too many people need me to not give up. I'm just so sick of being sick. The medicine seems to be helping, but I still don't feel like a normal person.

And to be fair, I'm not sure what giving up would look like. Probably sitting around and moping in bed.

Slave driver

Isaac came out to help us shovel this afternoon and instead of grabbing a shovel and trying to help, he decided to be a slave driver.

We would do a shovel and he would immediately say "one more!" "One more!" "One more!" Of course, he did this while standing in the way so that he could immediately inspect our work.

At least we passed inspection.

Friday: still alive

Unsurprisingly, we're still alive. Yesterday's goals were to get some blood drawn, go to the grocery store, and clean up the house. None of those happened. I was super exhausted due to any early wake up call and some new medicine that might make me drowsy. Then when I asked Isaac if he wanted to go out, it was a clear no. So we stayed inside and didn't do anything. Well, we made dinner.

Since yesterday's goals worked out so well, I thought I should have the same ones today. But I got to sleep in. So I'd say all the goals were accomplished, although the house still needs more cleaning. Isaac noticed that his crib sheet was a different color tonight...do you think that means I left it on the bed too long this past cycle?
