We’re going swimming today and I plan to go for a run this evening. I got my period this morning though and am kind of crampy and bloated. I don’t normally get cramps, so I’m hoping they go away soon.
I’m getting the boys together with a friend’s kids tomorrow since she and I have been hanging out during this. They’ve had almost no contact with other kids, so hopefully they have fun.
Today we are getting seasonal marionberry milkshakes from a local place. They are so good! Also, I'm attending a baby shower via zoom today. It's for one of my best friends and I'm so excited for her!
My extended family is leaving on our annual summer vacation tomorrow. My family isn't going. I'm sad we will miss out but know we're making the right choice.
I took the dogs for a walk and now I’m waiting for our window cleaners to get here. I’m so excited, we’ve never had them done! DH is fishing this morning. I’m going to go to the store and the library and to get a pedi. I have to go to Target later and I think I might get a new Apple Watch. Mine will not pair with my phone anymore. It’s a series 1 so I’ve had it a long time. Now to decide between a 3 or a 5. Any thought?

It's really warm here this weekend and our usual "it's hot" activities like movies or beach (too packed) are out. I really want to get out of this house, but I'm really stuck on what to do.

I’ve officially been home too long and really need to go back to actual work because now we’re taking on a complete kitchen renovation and I’m already several thousand dollars over budget. BUT IF I HAVE TO FUCKING WORK IN IT AND LOOK AT IT FOR HOURS UNTIL POSSIBLY 2021 I AM GOING TO LIKE MY KITCHEN, GOD DAMMIT.

My family is annoying the shit out of me today. I was trying to sleep in and my H didn’t referee the kids enough so my 7YO hopped in bed with me and woke me up.
Now H and the 7YO are roughhousing and the baby keeps getting knocked over because he wants to play but they’re not paying attention to him. I’m also hearing every 6 seconds, “MAAAAHMEEEEE HELP MEEEEEE!”
No. I’m not playing. I’m sitting. Leave me alone. Do literally anything else. I finally sent them into a different room. Go away.

I would go with a 5. Often Apple eventually stops supporting devices (updating it, ensuring it still syncs smoothly with other products), which means that the 3 will likely be obsolete before the 5 is.
Prepping for a minor hurricane/tropical storm/bad weather :/
I’m feeling so frustrated with people right now. In Florida where there is widespread community spread (at least in my county), I do not think we are ready for a return to regular school. But my area is not in Phase 1 and so it is going to be open. We have a vocal group of teachers who are very worried about returning. And I don’t blame them. However, I am friends with many teachers on social media, many of whom are part of this group. But what have I seen them doing this summer - graduation parties with lots of people, gatherings with other groups of teachers and their kids, children’s birthday parties, multiple vacations, dining out with friends in restaurants with no masks in sight. While I am extremely aware of why school is more dangerous than many of the things I listed above, it is because people have been doing things “like this” all summer that we have widespread community spread and one of the highest rates of pediatric positives in the state. It’s just really disappointing how no one wanted to take personal responsibility so we could have stood a chance of having in person school more safely. And now this is going to drag on and on and on.
We're going to grab some takeout from a new Asian fast casual place that opened up near us, and then I think we'll go to a park so the boys can run around. Hopefully it won't be too crowded because it's definitely going to be hot. I filled the blow-up pool earlier this morning, so when we get home they can just jump in if they want to get cool fast.
Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy came out yesterday!!! I watched the first 1.5 episodes last night since E stayed at my parents and H went to work.
I woke up early today and drove to my parents to visit my child and my best friend (the dog). E and my dad and I took the dog for a walk down at this beachy tiny peninsula island in my parents neighborhood (Queen Dick, Hibernating Bear NUT ISLAND) and then E and I went swimming across the street from my parents with my youngest brother.
I had to get the car back for H to work tonight but E stayed there. So now I have a beer, an edible and the rest of Umbrella Academy. (Pics are my BFF and the path down to swimming beach). It’s beautiful today
I will be getting the 5 because of the fall detection feature. I also agree with the other poster who said to get the 5 because of Apple support will stop supporting the 3 sooner.
Guys. I forgot we volunteered in May to take care of the class bearded dragon this month. The previous family just rolled up with this freaking lizard mansion. This thing (the lizard, not the enclosure) is like a foot long. What was I thinking?

Love Umbrella Academy. We watched episodes 1 and 2 last night.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I just sat up and DS2 is sitting under the table eating random crumbs off the floor. 🤦🏻♀️ I swear to God, he is part animal.
Oh so it’s not just my kid. Cool. lol
We had the drywall guy out today to fix two holes in our ceiling that our plumber had to cut. So glad they’re fixed. The water district is coming out Monday to assess whether or not we’re eligible for their rebate for converting our backyard to turf. Either way, we’re ripping the grass up. Half of it’s dead, it uses so much water, and it’s a pain to maintain. Lots of projects around the house.
