Social distancing ... day 82

Thursday 

Today was, again, a really busy day at work. Trying to wrap up meetings and also get services together for a few students in crisis.  

Aisling took a break from her work today to attempt the Pringle’s challenge. 

... she did not get it. 

We ordered delicious take out from our local sandwich shop. I finally had a chai latte! I’ve been dying for one for months! 

Siobhan washes the dogs today? Totally by herself! I’m pretty impressed with that kid. 

 We are going to march tomorrow. I’m a little worried about the pandemic but I’m hoping we’ll be able to make it work. I don’t think I can just ignore this. 

We also took a walk tonight. It was a lovely night. 

Social distancing ... day 81

Wednesday 

Seems like I skipped Tuesday. 

Honestly, things have been rough around here. Trying to balance showing up for social justice but also not dying in a pandemic. It’s a lot. 

I did a lot of donating yesterday. Black lives matter, joe Biden, the bail fund, and any McGrath who’s running against Mitch McConnal. We’ll see. 

On Tuesday Connor has his ceremony to pick up his cap and gown. Ordinarily I’m told this is a barbecue for the students. Sadly they clearly didn’t have that. But they did have a drive through parade. It was special in its own way. I was emotional of course. 

When we got home connor and Siobhan played a game. It’s weird that Connor doesn’t have anything to do during the day! 

We did get works that in the fall he should be able to be on campus for classes. That’s so exciting and incredibly nerve wracking. 

Siobhan used her quill and Ink as well for a little project. 

On Wednesday i worked for a very long day. Lots going on to finish the school year. 

While I was at work sam attacked the chipmunks living under the umbrella. I don’t know how he’s capable of such destruction. 

Aisling and i did get a quick walk in today. 

Thankfully we went out before it down poured!

I left siobhan alone for a few minutes and came back to this. 

She’s ridiculous. 

Have a good Thursday. 

Social distancing ... day 79

Monday 

Monday was an extremely difficult day. I intended this blog to be about the pandemic and Social distancing. But there is so much awful news lately I would be remiss to gloss over it. I’m feeling sad and upset and exhausted over all of it. It’s hard to watch and I’m feeling helpless. 

I also learned on Monday that a dear friend had died on May 18. It’s been an extremely emotional day. 

Thankfully I’m able to take walks. :)

I’m also able to see siobhan enjoy some creativity. 

Im also able to enjoy some additiona snuggles from this rapidly growing child. 

Social distancing.... day 78

Prom!

We threw a backyard prom for Connor and abby today. It was amazing. I was worried it would just remind them of everything they didn’t get this year but it was really a special day. 

It was amazing to have a day filled with happiness and joy. We needed that.
