The boys and I have had a pretty decent day. Actually, I'm going to promote the day from decent to pretty darn good. Nothing particularly eventful took place but I'm really proud of my boys because they demonstrated a shitload of teamwork today.
Part of Gavin's new bedset came in over the weekend. His actual mattress is coming early as well and will be here on Wednesday.
I wanted to get his old mattress, boxspring and frame out to the trash today. Someone will come and scrap the frame before morning.
Anyway, everyone helped haul things down to the first floor.
I took most of it out by myself because I live in a neighborhood full of covidiots and I need to be extra careful. I was able to get everything done without coming into contact with anyone but it was easier to manage this without having to keep track of the kids at the same time.
The boys and I had a cookout Sunday night and while I was doing some yard work before hand, there were people trying to approach me, while I was on my own property. I know of them but don't actually know them. They are among the people completely ignoring the fact that we're in a fucking pandemic and have been ignoring it all along.
I'm not trying to be a dick by telling people to back off but *back the fuck off. *You're not wearing a mask and not social distancing. Your stupidity will not get me or my kids sick. This is exactly why we don't spend much time outside and it's only getting worse.
Moving is very, very high on my priority list. At least when all this blows over.
The whole point is that we didn't spend anytime outside today. It's not a huge deal because it was upwards of 100°F and very humid.
After dinner, Emmett decided to put Gavin's new bed platform together and he did so by himself. I'm quite proud of him.
We made smores on the gas range and then settled down for a bit before winding down for the night.
Gavin has decided to make a bed on his floor, instead of sleeping on the couch. He has some weird reasons for not using the couch but whatever makes him happy. I've learned enough over the years that sometimes it's best to let him do his own thing, as long as it's safe.
As for me, I've been keeping up with the dishes and laundry. I know that's hard to believe but it's true and I'm quite proud of myself.
I even think I might be looking at a treadmill in the next couple of weeks. That would be huge and I'm really, really hoping it works out. I *need *to get back at it and a treadmill is the only way that can happen right now.
I feel pretty good about today. We're sorta getting our feet underneath us and making progress. I'm super stoked about that.
My hope is that I can end the day on a positive note by actually being able to fall asleep. I've been struggling in that area for a few days and I really need sleep.
Hope everyone is doing well.
