I don’t even know what to write about this week. Everything feels dumb in light of the actual legitimate huge health issue that we’re facing, you know? If you’re anything like me (meaning you’re anxious about most things and are reluctant to leave the house on a perfectly normal day), perhaps you are coping with a lot of this:

But alas, we keep going and make the appropriate changes/precautions… hanging on by a thread though we may be. And if that means suddenly staying up til 1 AM reading about The Bachelor finasco, then so be it! 😳

So with that preamble out of the way, let’s touch on a few sparkly things (and then promptly wash our hands!):

Thursday was Kristin’s birthday. I had my yearly allergist appointment that day, and when I sat down in the waiting room, they were playing one of our favorite songs from Game of Thrones: “The Night King.” (We called it “Goodnight King,” which will make more sense if you listen to it, haha.) I’ve never in my life heard this song outside of GoT or my own pursuit of it on YouTube. 🤯 AND THEN, when I went out to my car afterward, our favorite Wham! song (“Everything She Wants”) was playing on the radio. 🤯🤯 Incidentally, I had an intense therapy session on Monday and was really missing having Kristin to talk to afterward. She was always so sane in those moments. Plus, with this week being her birthday and all, I was already missing her a lot. I really needed these reminders that she’s still here with us. 💖
Timmi and Alana were incredibly helpful as I navigated this week and would patiently listen and weigh in while I was flipping my lid. I’m very grateful for those gals. 💖

I got to see Kristin’s parents on Wednesday night for birthday cupcakes and a cat-hair-induced allergy attack! 😂😫 I love them and wish they lived around here! 💖
