No running, just napping

I did not enter the New York City Marathon. Maybe next year. It's over 20 miles, and if I'm going to do it, I want to do it well, not start it and break down at mile eight or something. Danielle did not wake up naked but for a cowboy hat and feather boa in a warehouse in Jersey. We agreed on the time she would arrive home, and she arrived home ten minutes earlier, happy and satisfied she did a good job being on a date with an older boy. Dani does not know if she wants to go out with him again, but he has not texted or called, so it may not matter. Josh told me after this Friday he is not sure he wants kids anymore because he figures he will care and stress about them more than he stressed about Dani, and he felt like that was exhausting.

Instead of running this morning I got up early and went swimming, then did a ton of studying, a ton of cleaning, and then laid on the couch and napped before our fire family dinner. It feels like it's been a lazy day even though a lot was accomplished. The entire kitchen was completely scrubbed down. All the cabinets are now perfectly organized. All the food came out of the fridge and the shelves were scrubbed. I even moved the refrigerator to clean behind it. Anyone who messes up the kitchen is going to lose a limb. At some point this week I want to carve out time to do more parts of the house. Already it feels so much better each time I walk into the kitchen.

 At our fire family dinner tonight they had a cat. The cat really likes me a lot and kept coming over to rub against my leg so I would pet it. I don't like cats much, but I liked this one.

So happy middle sis made it through the date unscathed. I can understand Josh's fear of the stress of parenting teens. It's a wild ride. You're a good big sister to both Dani and Alex.
