I thought this week was going fine until the weekend hit. I had book club on Monday. We discussed Devil's Highway. We could have talked for hours but ended up doing the chicken dance in a TikTok video instead. I stayed up late a lot watching Netflix. Instead of zooming for dance we actually went to dance. We are giving up on the social distancing, I guess. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm thinking of a COVID sleepover to just get it and knock it out. If that is even how it works, which I guess is not. There's nasty rumors of no school in the fall. It was nice to walk in the park again. Spot got oodles of energy out this week, maybe even too much bc it was hot. Runs with me in the morning while the kids were at swim, bike rides to school for lunch and then park time in the afternoon. I would even say we were busy. I played tennis twice on Thursday. And then Friday hit. I spot checked Marly's work and found out she hit submit without actually doing the work. I made her stay home from the pool on Friday to finish it all. I trusted her when she told me that evening that she finished all but one item that she needed help with. She got to come with Phil and I to a dinner party Friday night to play with Ava May. She was thrilled to be with us. It was so nice to be at a dinner party! I even took a shower and put on jewelry! On Saturday we took the boat to the pool and spent the day and night there. Lots of fun, but another late night. Sunday we actually went to mass with masks on. It was odd but I'm glad we went. We went to breakfast as usual. At home, I checked Marly's work and found out she lied! I lost it on her and said lots of horrible things. My voice is hoarse from yelling. We left her and took the boat to the pool. She finally finished it all but it really ruined the day. I was toast. I think I finally cracked. Phil tapped in to take over- at 8pm- way too late. Monday was better for me but worse for Phil. We played in a round robin mixed doubles match. He spent the day at home. I took the kids to swim in the rain, which was actually really nice. We had a fun Memorial Day dinner on the balcony. We did talk with the kids about the meaning of Memorial Day and looked up the numbers of people who have died. It was a sobering conversation. And now summer is upon us.
