I think we had a fantastic day and I feel quite accomplished. We got so much done today and I’m incredibly proud of my kids for their help.

We got some of the basement cleaned up and hauled out to the trash. I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile but it’s just not happened.

The boys and I spent some time straightening up the house. I got the car washed and waxed as well. After dinner, I got the grass cut and the yard straightened. The boys didn’t stick around for too long because the mosquitoes were bad.

I even got a chance to close my eyes for a few minutes. I woke up with Ruby curled up on my shoulder.

My parents stopped by this evening for a short, socially distanced visit. They brought Emmett’s birthday present and some lactose free ice cream for later.

Social distancing is the right thing to do but fuck, it’s not always easy.

I really miss my parents and it’s difficult to see them and not be able to give them a hug.

I will say that I’m super proud of Elliott because he came out to say hi. He really struggles with seeing his loved ones and not being able to hug them. Often times, he simply avoids the visits like this. It’s just too painful for him. Today, however, he hung out for a bit.

Finally, I have Friday’s podcast episode completely done and uploaded. The post is written and all three promos are scheduled to hit social media throughout the week. I’m excited to be back at it. ☺

I hope that all of you are going as well as you can be. We have a busy week ahead of us and I’m feeling ready to take it on.
