Woo hoo. 

Yesterday was good but I worry it wasn't good enough. The kid had a swim class. (They aren't normally back to back, but we missed a few over the holidays so this was a makeup class.) Then we picked up two chairs. Yesterday we could only fit two in our car, so we had to go back for the other two today. We got home in time to give away three of the old ones to someone who had answered an ad. Then we baked cookies, a perfect activity for a snowy afternoon. Then I took the kid to the park. She met a friend there. There was a little interpersonal conflict but overall they had a lot of fun playing in the snow and sledding on a slight incline in the park. We also got through all the laundry.

Despite that, I was still feeling anxious as we finished dinner and got ready for bed. We're still ahead in the count of unnecessary chairs taking up space in our house. Yesterday T. and I discussed other minor problems but didn't make any progress on them. It feels like I can't keep up.

Then again, that might just be depression triggered by fatigue, or burnout on virtual school. It's more than just having the kid around more than usual. For most of the past week the kid woke up with me or even earlier. Sunday morning she came into our bed around 5 AM due to unspecified nightmares. To top it off, Saturday night T. and I had stayed up after 11 watching Eternals, so we were burning the candle at both ends.

This morning she slept in until 7:30, more or less back to normal, so maybe today will be better? Who knows. Knock on wood.
