Today I have

[sabine]

• Mostly overcome the anxiety monster. I managed this through the application of Xanax, very loud music, crochet, and buying donuts for tomorrow morning.
• Gotten both kids bathed and in bed. Ox went to bed by himself, though he woke up long enough for me to read "Goodnight, Moon". Emi put up a bit of a fight, but it was token resistance. She's still coughing hard and has a bit of a fever.
• Realized yet again that my kids are two entirely different people. When sick, Ox just wants to drink juice, water, and formula and rest. Emi wants to run around and whine about feeling terrible and not drink any fluids or get any rest at all.
• Was greeted at the garage door by both kids, who both lit up with giant smiles when they saw me.
• Done the lower body and plank challenges for a FB fitness group I foolishly signed up for. And did my backbend practice for good measure.
• Had a bottle of hard cider and homemade dinner.
• Drank water.
• Watched the sunset
• Realized that things get better. They also get worse, but they get better. Things change. And for right now, that's enough.
