17 days later, she logs back in. Sad. In my defense, those 17 days have been full of drama involving my oldest daughter, an absolutely poisonous living situation, and all the items required to correct it. She's now in a much better dorm setting, single room about the of a nice walk in closet but her very own.
Also in that time we got my youngest set up to attend the high school of her dreams, The School of Environmental Studies that's actually on the grounds of the Minnesota Zoo. She's very excited, and we're happy for her.
Let's see, what else? I've started freestyle classes with Sparksy; she's a challenging one to train because she is so intent on getting the treat that she'll just run through all her skills boom-boom-boom gimme the cookie, and doesn't actually stop to process what I'm asking her to do. Or that I'm asking, really. "Regular exercise" would help, but today it's -14 so going for a walk is right out. Yesterday I took her outside for her business and halfway up the driveway she stopped and sat up like a meercat so I would carry her the rest of the way. I did pick our music, and will need to find a good app for cutting it down to a one minute bit.
Oh, and I finally started getting some actual CLEAN on the house. I'm going through the rooms, scrubbing and tossing and generally trying to recover my space, and looking around going "Wow, you'd think the person in charge of this had just undergone two solid weeks of stress, several trips to the college, and a major depressive episode". I suppose that counts as cutting myself a bit of slack?
