Hmmmm. . . . I think we finished the Marvel series on this day. Last half of Endgame and Spiderman: Far from Home.
We're doing way less screen time. I'm fine with us watching TV or a movie together. It's everyone off doing there own thing I don't want too much of.

Tuesday, Day 67 of Quarantine
Ruby screamed and cried for a while when I put her to bed. But! She slept through the night until 7:30-ish. A miracle. I didn't go in there either!
When we got up, I took Sav on a walk. She's ridiculous. I had a realization last night that the girls have to go on a walk. They can't go when I take Sav because it's just too much to deal with Sav and keep Ruby alive. So, two walks.
I came back after Sav's walk and exercised, then I took the girls on a walk. I didn't let them skip and oh the complaints! It was ridiculous. But whatever. They went.
I took Maggie's computer away. It's just too much time on there. I'm giving her the two hours on FB messenger. And she can have her computer in the evenings.
It's now Friday. My computer broke.

Monday, Day 66 of Quarantine
Ruby slept in. She slept ALL night and she slept in. When we got up, I took Sav on a walk. The girls watched TV and played on Kindles.
The AC guys showed up early. It took them a few hours. Ruby was thrilled. She wore a mask, sometimes. Maggie stayed in her room.
I don't know what we did the rest of the day. Let's see we watched half of Avengers Endgame.
Oh, Ruby's been asking me if we can get married when she grows up. Yep! She can be such a sweetie pie.
Gratitude: Jeff! I love Jeff. I have known Jeff more than half my life and he is the most beloved person I've ever known. People adore him. Everyone wants to be his friend. A million people describe him as their best friend. He's been in a million weddings (and performed quite a few). He's incredibly kind and giving. He's always up for a laugh and is hilarious. Two of my favorite Jeff stories:
One, Roscoe had been getting out of their backyard. One morning, he's leaving for work and Roscoe gets out. He puts him back in the yard and leaves. He gets a street or two over and there's Roscoe! He gets out of the car and starts yelling at him but Roscoe ignores him. Finally, this guy comes out of his garage and says, why are you yelling at my dog? It was a Roscoe doppelganger.
Two, me, Jeff, and Laurie were driving to or from BCS. I think we were in Itasca that flat nothing area outside of DFW but before Burleson. Jeff and I were talking and we look over and, I swear to GOD, a dead guy was driving. He was in a minivan and he was BLUE and hunched over against his window. Jeff and I were laughing so hard. Jeff said the two funniest things I've ever heard. One, excuse me sir are you aware you're dead? And, I guess they're weekend-at-Bernie's-ing it. I still laugh. And how was a dead guy driving.

Sunday, Day 65 of Quarantine
I exercised and cleaned and worked a little and it was all so glorious.
The girls got home around 8:30 pm. I put Ruby straight to bed but she was a mess. I finally got her down.
Maggie and I went to bed around 9:30 pm.

Saturday, Day 64 of Quarantine
Ruby went to bed at like 7:15 pm last night, which is late for her. She had an awful night. It was so bad. I don't know how to fix this. What else is there? She's 4 and a half?!?! How is this still such a problem?
I exercised first thing when I got up and thank goodness because that's about all I did. I just lounged. I'm so freaking tired.
We watched Big Business. It's still pretty dang funny.
The girls went to their Dad's in the evening. I just sat around until it was a decent time to go to bed. And that was after taking a two-hour off and on nap.
Gratitude: I have two for today. One, is sleep. As God is my witness, I will never take sleep for granted. Sleep is a beautiful thing and I'm lucky every day and I get a full night's worth.
Also, Dad! My Dad is always there for me. I'm not good at putting things together or like fixing things, but if I call my Dad he'll come and do it. I can always depend on him to come help me. He loves my kids and makes sure he sees them at least once a week their entire lives. It is very rare for him to go a week without seeing them. I can't even think of all the things he's helped me with or set up for me. He's also helped me with childcare a million times. Any time I've needed help, he's there.

Friday, Day 63 of Quarantine
Ruby woke up twice around 11 pm. I went in because it was so early and gave her an extra melatonin and yelled at her to get in bed. It worked.
I actually got up on time, so I guess we slept well. Wait no, Ruby slept in by about 30 minutes. A solid win. We got up and I took Sav on a walk. She's doing better. In training, I'm attempting stay. Basically I have her sit and try to take one full step back. It's so-so but we'll get there. She's doing pretty good with sit.
After that me and Ruby exercised. I called the AC guy at some point and he's coming today. I set up the big AC unit that Dad stores here because it was so icky. Then I had everyone take a bath.
I worked on the new garage door thing. It required wiring stuff. I got one wire out but I could not get the other one out. Apparently, wiring things is something most people just know how to do. I tried to look up videos of how to wire and I couldn't find a single one. They would say I'm going to do this, there would be a cut and then it's just done. No one would show how to do it. Finally, I called Dad and he said he would just come over and finish it. He got it out in like one second. What the hell?!
The AC guy came. He said it needed to be replaced. Since I've put hundreds into in every year I've lived here, I'd rather just pay to get it replaced. He said he can do it on Monday.
Maggie lost all computer/Kindle/TV time for the day. She hit Ruby and I'm just done. If they were closer in age, I might be more figure it out yourselves. But she's 7 years older than Ruby. It's not fair.
We had book club tonight. Laurie wanted to do it socially distant-style in her driveway and everyone agreed. It was only five of us. The kids played and Jeff watched them. It was lovely. God, I miss people.
In fact, that's my gratitude for today. Getting to see some people, not on a screen, and that I'm not quarantined with. It was so nice.

Thursday, Day 62 of Quarantine
Ruby cried again last night. For about 20 minutes after I put her to bed. Ugh, I hate it. I thought of umpteen million reasons why it was okay to go in there just once but I didn't do it. It's so hard.
She woke up early. Again.
She's still eckercising with me. It's so dang cute. It's a long workout so she gets distracted and just plays with the exercise bands I'm not using.
Our family movie today was Ant Man and Wasp. No one got whacked with the business end of a baby doll so. . . winning!
Me and Ruby just cuddled on the couch until her bedtime.
Oh, I heard from the AC company. Even though the technician told me it just needed to be replaced, this time they told me most of it wasn't covered and fixing it would cost almost $800. Jeff had given me a recommendation for an AC guy he trusted so I'll be calling him instead.
Gratitude: My house! When everything breaks and I have to fix it, sure it's annoying, but I own my house. I love this house. I love that it's mine. After living in apartments and hating places I lived, it feels like a miracle to own my own home.
