Wednesdays are lighter for me at work, which was welcome, since I pushed it hard Monday and Tuesday, and so didn’t feel the best again on Wednesday. I also was able to talk to my therapist which was great. Among other things, we discussed progress I am making on mindfulness and acceptance. I love therapy.
Lily was still soldiering on. Trying to take it easy, but still having a lot to do to maintain the house and the children. She’s also still powering through on her German and other goals, like Greek. She’s so sad that she can’t do fun things with the kids like bake cookies or read books (if she talks to much she coughs). Also, yesterday she pulled a muscle in her chest from coughing so hard so she was in extra intense pain today each time that she coughed. I ended work earlier than usual and was around. I sure hope she can get better soon!
Here is a picture Lily got of Lydia who played dress-up with Clarissa. Lydia was going on and on about how patient Clarissa was as Lydia was dressing her up.
One of the highlights of the week for me has been watching the docuseries, “Hillary” with Lily and Georgia in the evenings. It’s on Hulu. Hillary is a very polarizing figure and many people have chosen to either idolize her or hate her. I’m aware that people can paint themselves in a positive light whenever there is something biographical, but the major indisputable data points in her life are so impressive, that I am now in her fan club. I think she would have been one of the most smart, strong, well qualified, feeling and compassionate presidents we have ever had. And I think it could have moved civil rights, healthcare, and education forward tremendously. It was such a powerful show and I would recommend it to anyone.
