This whole go to bed really late and keep me up thing is dragging me down very literally, so this morning, I told my daughter that I thought she was trying to avoid thinking by staying up really late so she was too exhausted to lie awake in bed with her thoughts.
Turns out I was right.
She had a lot of the normal anxieties of girls / women / at this age, and didn’t realize it would help to talk about them. We talked about them. It seems to have helped a little. We’ll see.
R. had a meeting with the landscape folks on zoom. He also got most of the shelving away from the walls, prepping for the basement insulation project.
M. is really distressed, about politics, and how poisonous the news is, and also her mother’s health. But while she couldn’t walk right away, we had a snack and a chat and she felt better and we got our walk. I went over to CVS later to replace her broken heating pad with a new one. Having now bought on short notice two heating pads at CVS, I’m really tempted to order one on Amazon and just keep it in the box for when another on breaks and we need it on short notice.
Piano lesson went well today. T. is here for a few days. That’s kind of fun.
