Saturday
Saturday, Dad was in a lot of pain. IL7 wanted to do a lot of non-TV activities, which was nice, but he enjoys attention while he’s doing things like that, so I didn’t get much reading in. One thing IL7 did was make a carrot & apple smoothie, which was actually quite tasty.
Sunday
Sunday, IL7 played Battle Simulator. He talked me into playing Brotato, then I ended up playing alone. He also had swim lessons. D16 and M13 watched videos/TV. I got some reading done. Aaron went to a meet and greet with a politician.
Monday
Monday I took IL7 to an appointment. Then, hours of phone calls and housework. I took Dad to the gym for his first workout in weeks and worked out on the treadmill. Then I took Dad to see his doctor.
Tuesday
Tuesday, I picked up cupcakes, shuttled Dad’s urine an hour round-trip, took M13 to his well-child visit, played Minecraft with IL7, and read. Aaron went to a political meet-and-greet.
Wednesday
Wednesday morning, I took M13 to the dentist, then I went to the gym with Dad. In the afternoon/evening, I took IL7 to two appointments, then to faith formation.
Thursday
Thursday, I used the last of my Christmas money to treat myself to Olive Garden, where I got some reading done. I ran errands. I took D16 to an appointment. In the evening, the family went out to Outback Steakhouse.
Friday
Friday the kids were all home from school. M13 and D16 spent all day on screens. I played on the computer with IL7 and took him to an appointment, the library, and Target. We bought Jenga. I worked on a letter and read a little.

Klawde, an evil warlord cat, is banished from his home planet to Earth. He is adopted by Raj, who believes he is a good warlord. Very cute and funny. IL7 loved it. Maybe 3rd grade reading level?




Jane and Katherine continue fighting zombies and corrupt humans in this fantastic follow-up to Dread Nation. The story really isn’t complete without this sequel. It’s just one story.
