03:07 pm - I'm being productive
Yay, I'm making writing progress on multiple fronts. Productive day today.
We had more shrimp over quinoa yesterday. T loved it. He's asking a lot of questions about what he's eating. "Were shrimp alive?" "Where are the eyes?" "They don't like being eaten, right?" It's almost enough to make me eat vegetarian again. Still, the dish tasted great.
T is asking a lot of questions in general about being dead, killing food, etc. He's processing a lot. I hope our explanations are doing justice to his questions. I still grapple with some of the issues today.
R made a joke yesterday. He can't even talk but he's being funny. At dinner he turned his sippy cup upside down and pretended to drink from it. I turned it around so he could drink properly. He promptly turned it back over and made loud slurping noises, as though he were drinking from the bottom of the cup. Then he looked at me with a big grin and laughed. J and I were sure it was a joke.
My poker rating is going down. I was disconnnected several times from MSN while playing yet it still docked me the $100 entry (not real money - just imaginary). One of the times I was disconnected I was one of the two remaining hands so I was sure to win some prize money (also imaginary). So frustrating. Plus, I've made some strategic errors (missing the flush possibility in the community hand) and I have had some bad beats (like losing on an "all in" with a Q high full house to an A high full house on the river). These issues have driven my rating down. Oh well. Still fun. Not that I have much time for it. I squeeze a hand in once in a while, like today. I lost with 3 5s on an "all in" with a two-handed bet. The other person won with a 10 high straight on the river. How do the champions consistently win? I guess that's why they are pros.
I'm tired today. R woke me up 4 times last night. Bad dreams, I think.
I'm going to row. I don't want to but I will do it. Now.

05:06 pm - 1.6 miles walking, 45 min rowing
I did it. I rowed 45 minutes. I skipped the HIIT patterns because I just didn't feel like it today.
I'm 7 lbs lighter than I was nearly 3 weeks ago. Go me.
I forgot to mention that R has been pointing at everything and saying "dis" for "this". He wants to know what everything is called. Sometimes he'll point to several different parts of something to see if the answer might change (e.g., clouds, sky, sun, trees). T used to do the same thing.
Tonight, going out for dinner. Pizza perhaps.
