Day 712 of quarantine...
Okay, but doesn't it kind of feel like it? It's May 8th. It snowed today, albeit briefly. WTF. I guess I can't complain too much because last weekend was almost 80! I'm hoping to get in some walking/bike riding this weekend still. Last night I went for a walk with Ryan and Lauren. Lauren walked for about 5 houses, then sat in her adaptive stroller. I was so glad Ryan decided to come! He has been the happiest guy during all of this. It makes me so incredibly happy!
Lauren is still my little velcro baby and we must be practically touching at all times when occupying the same space. I honestly feel like it's torture for her to be home all day when I'm at work. When she's at school, I think it's fine and she doesn't think about it. And really, she's doing great at home for Greg! But the minute I get home from work she acts like we've been separated for days on end. It's adorable and obviously a pretty good ego boost for me. I'm pretty sure her she has a greater capacity for love that anyone else in the world. I got home from work today and we made dinner together. Then we played Barbies. Now I'm relaxing and she's sitting next to me watching Disney stuff on YouTube while I repeatedly remind her to use her chewy instead of biting her fingers. Greg and Ryan are watching Star Wars stuff at deafening decibels. I'm wearing noise cancelling headphones to try and stave off a migraine I feel coming on. Usually my first symptom is noise sensitivity, so I'm wearing Lauren's lime green noise cancelling headphones. It's a good look for me. I have migraine meds I can use, but I prefer to wait until I know I need them, like if it gets so bad that I can't sleep.
Luckily every Friday is Lauren's "Mommy Sleepovers" day, so I'll get to go to bed at 8:30pm guilt free. It also means that I'll be mauled by an 80lb Gumby for approximately 10 hours. She likes us to be hugging while we sleep 😆 I better enjoy going to bed early because my (hopefully) last class starts tomorrow and I'll be burning the midnight oil to make sure I get everything done. God willing, I'll be done June 13th and officially graduate August 15th!
