Saturday

Saturday, IL7 and I played Piku Niku while Aaron went to a political event.

Sunday

Sunday, I made some split pea soup for Aaron’s lunches. Aaron and I played Super Mario 3D World with IL7. I got some reading done. Aaron went grocery shopping. IL7 had swim lessons. In the evening, the family played D&D.

Monday

Monday was busy. D16 had an appointment in the wee hours, then IL7 had an appointment. I took my dad to the gym, then I had an appointment. Dad decided to walk home from the gym (about two miles) without telling me – I had left him there because I thought my sister was coming. Dad made it 1.5 blocks before he needed to be rescued. Later, Dad’s at-home nurse came to visit. In the evening, my friend Liz came over and we watched Doctor Who. Afterwards, I played Scribblebots with IL7.

Tuesday

Tuesday it feels like I ought to have had free-time, but I was busy all day long. I got D16’s surgery scheduled for June, which required about 6 appointments, with promise of months of physical therapy following up. I took dad to his first physical therapy for his herniated disc. He was pleased with the exercises. I played Scribblebots with IL6.

Wednesday

Wednesday IL7 had an appointment. I spent some time reading.

Thursday

Thursday, I had to take a nap for a couple hours because I was so tired. D16 had an appointment. Later in the evening, I had D&D.

We had car troubles on my way to work. I moved the little car out of the way, so I could drive the big car. There was a wind warning in the morning. I parked it in an awkward spot. Then it wouldn’t start again when I tried to move it back in the driveway. We had to put it in neutral and push it back in, as IL7 ran around in our way. It started the next morning.

Friday

Friday I moved more slowly on everything than I intended, but I got enough stuff done, I suppose. I took IL7 to an appointment and ran some errands. I read. I wrote a letter. Aaron played a game with his friends.
