Day 403: Duck and Cover
Friday brought the end of a week that had us all feeling pretty exhausted. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I'm not even certain why...it wasn't any more busy or nuts that most weeks, but for some reason we've all been feeling pretty drained. Henry demonstrated it...
Day 401: Storytelling
On Wednesday morning, I was zeroed in on work when Amelia came into my office with an assignment. They had been told to write a story, and then read it aloud to someone else in the house. So Amelia sat down and gave me a personal reading of her story. She did a...
Day 400: The Verdict
I remember way back on Day 76 of this blog, being incredibly rattled by the death of George Floyd and writing a post about it. That was obviously a galvanizing event in a country already struggling through a scary pandemic. It set into motion a summer of protests and...
Day 399: Two Legit To Quit
Monday was a big day in the Schneider Haus. It was Asta's second birthday! Of course, that didn't make it any easier for the kids to get up and get into their weeks. There was the usual Monday morning grumbling, but things loosened up as the day went on.Henry's...

Day 396: Injection Point
After several false starts and schedule scrambles, Friday was the finally the day of my first COVID injection.It's hard now to even put this moment in context. I've seen lots of people I know excitedly getting the shot, and now it was finally going to be my turn. The...
Day 395: Blame It On the Rain
Thursday was a little on the gloomy side and we were expecting a little rain, so it was a good day for hunkering down and getting some stuff done. I have to say I like cold, cloudy days for that. Easier to focus on meetings and presentations and spreadsheets and...
Day 394: A Wednesday
Not much to say about this particular Wednesday, honestly. Most notably, I drove Erin down to her eye surgeon to have her stitches out following last week's procedure. I am pleased to report she is healing well and on the mend.After that, it was back home to work and...
Day 393: Back in Vax
Tuesday morning, I woke up to the not-so-great news that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine had been paused. This was disappointing, both for the country's vaccination program and the overall confidence of the population, but also more specifically because Erin and I...
