Lizze is home and that's really nice. The boys were super excited to have her home. There's a different feeling in the house when all five of us are home. It's a good feeling, just to be clear. On the back end of this positive moment, is the fact that my back is still out. I'm in a shitload of pain and having a bit of a hard time. I was doing okay yesterday, but woke up this morning and knew it was going to be rough. It's kinda hard to sleep funny on my mattress, so I'm not sure what happened. If this doesn't get better soon, I may have to bite the bullet and do a seven day cycle of prednisone, to decrease the swelling. I don't do…

I was able to squeeze in four hours and six minutes of sleep last night. That's almost a record for me, so that's awesome. I'm feeling pretty good today, and more motivated than usual to accomplish some things around the house. Lizze is on her way home, but unfortunately, isn't feeling well. Hopefully the four or five hour drive will be kind to her. Alexa claims it's going to be a nice day, and thus far, she's been spot on. It should be a great day to walk and that will make three days in a row. I want to get back into the routine of walking the track everyday. Our treadmill is not in good shape, so I'd much rather walk the track. Anyway, I hope your day is…

The boys and I had a pretty good evening. Lizze left after dinner and won't be back until sometime Sunday. We went for a forty minute walk at the park, before undoing our efforts with a trip to Walgreens to pick up some movie snacks. We ended up renting the new Surfs movie on Dish. The boys loved it and afterward, they went to bed without too much of a problem. I don't think we have any grand plans for today, but I'd like to make another trip to the park, assuming the weather holds out. Perhaps we'll do some work around the house. Like I said, no grand plans.
