Today, I took down the tree. Listening to music and taking down our ornaments was calming. And I felt like the grinch carrying the tree out in darkness. It was a beautiful tree, and it brought a lot of joy.

Today was a good day, but a tough day. We were all tired. By evening, I had a headache. My workout was literally 15 minutes, and then “tree.” The boys were even more frustrated today than yesterday about the PC situation, so that was emotionally draining for me. But thankfully, Sasha made a second dinner of pasta, and they are going to sleep happy.

all is well that ends well, despite it all
