Nobody has mentioned spring training baseball. But it's here!
Like literally here almost in my backyard here So we get some traffic issues getting in/out of my neighborhood certain times of day. Sometimes it's really hard to leave the neighborhood. Don't even try to turn east or west.
for inconvenience we in the neighborhood can get free tickets one time during spring training time. We don't get to choose the game though.
March 16th we go to baseball! Giants and white Sox

Giants and white Sox I've been paying attention to the games through the MLB app. It's cool that you're so close to the training facility, but I understand the frustration of dealing with traffic.

Unfortunately we aren’t making it out this year because DS’s musical schedule didn’t allow it. But Go Giants!!

Took DD and a friend to a college women’s basketball game tonight and it was low key and fun and now we’re stuffing ourselves at Shake Shake and I have a can of wine and watching my kid play foosball and life is just good.
H’s mom died in January and we all got covid and 2023 got off to a pretty shitty start. But Disney is around the corner and we’re working on a major remodel so I think it’s going to improve.

Between a kids party at a VR place that had terrible sound reverb, the park, and Costco, I am people and sounded out. I think I am going to retreat to my room when we get home and just sit in silence for a while.

Last night we went with friends to a very cool outdoor light show at a local sculpture park (local friends I highly recommend Nightforms at Grounds for Sculpture before it ends in April!). It was truly excellent.
It's a beautiful day and we have a school fundraiser at Top Golf today so the boys are excited.
I think I'm coming down with something so I'm trying to lay low otherwise. Got our taxes done yesterday which seems like enough producvity for one weekend .

DS1 wanted to go to the park with his friend so we had planned to pick him up but their neighborhood park is right next to their house so DS2 and friend's little sister are riding bikes around the bball court. I ordered a bunch of ski accessories for the kids for next week this AM.

AmyG, I'm jealous of the warmth and proximity, but not the traffic. I looked at flights for this spring break out there and they were heart-attack level, but I wish I could go. Go Cubs!

I have been sick (effing strep) but am now at the 2nd-day-of-antibiotics stage where I'm feeling better enough that I want to do all the things. I'm trying to decide if cleaning out my closet RIGHT NOW is the best or worst idea.

It's been pretty darned windy so I'd hate to play baseball in the wind. But I'm not a pro of course they know how to adapt. Some days I can sit outside and hear the announcer for most all of a game.

I split the difference and went with organizing a few laundry room cabinets. Now I need to find something to watch on TV.

The weather was amazing today. I got absolutely nothing done in my house I had planned on, but that’s okay. It will be back in the 40’s next weekend, so I felt like we had to take advantage of the weather and spend the day outside.

About a week or so ago, I took my boys to the library just so I could print something because my printer at home decided it didnt want to work. Of course since we were there I took them to the kids area to hang out. A couple kids ran over and started playing and I was kinda weirded out at first because there was no parent, but then she came over exasperated like omg, are they behaving themselves?!? And they were very sweet kids so I told her that much. Anyway, we got to talking and ended up exchanging number which omg is so very unlike me. But we haven’t contacted each other since.
Anyways, today I took my boys to one of the bigger parks in town and we were walking around the trail and I just hear a, “hey!” And it’s this lady, she was there having a birthday party for her kids. She invited us over for pizza and cupcakes and we hung out for a bit with her friends/family who were all so sweet.
Anyway, I’ve been feeling pretty isolated here since we moved (forever ago), which at this point I feel like is just my normal, but I’m gonna do my best to actually make a friend 😂 (this is sad lol)

I've been too afraid it's not going to be worth the coordination it's going to take.

DD2 just threw up. She didn’t eat much dinner and said her stomach hurt. Hopefully it was a one off. 🤞🏼

And I think this is the last year they are doing it.

My husband woke up with pink eye and is once again dismayed at the cost of urgent care.
He continually ignores the need for an established relationship with a PCP and then gets frustrated when shit like this happens. I am waiting until later in the week to ... ahem... remind him that he ought to make an appointment for a physical.
But for now he has drops and we are some amount poorer than we were this morning

Luckily since I’m going back to a team I’ve worked with I had their emails and such so I was able to get in touch with them and also it’s how it works there sometimes. Sadly I had to go through 3 different IT agents to literally get the most simplified answer that worked instantly

Oh man we didn't even think about a virtual visit but IDK what his insurance does there. His insurance is awful so it cost us almost $175 to go to urgent care when it COULD have been a much cheaper office visit if he'd had that option. I've been gently reminding him for months (as I go to the primary, get bloodwork done, get my papsmear, go to the eye doctor, the dentist, the dermatologist and on and on) to get his appointments scheduled. This has been a long standing issue for him so I'm just sort of like.... this is still happening? Anyway I hope you like your new provider- finding new doctors is a nightmare.

Also how does a middle aged man get pink eye? Is the question we've been asking ourselves all morning.
