Heart Chakra

 Today's session on Insight Timer was on the heart chakra. As you know, I've had a difficult relationship with my heart recently. So, today's class felt good. I was easily able to visualize the green light of the heart, plus the yellow of the solar plexus, the orange of the sacral, and the red of the root chakra. It was warming and empowering to honor my heart and all that it does. It probably doesn't hurt that I worked out a lot today too, really put my heart to the test. I have to give it credit; it carried me through like a champ. I hope I sleep well tonight as a result!

Ryan got dismissed from school a half hour early today because there was a big accident on 95 this morning that affected traffic through Wilmington all day. The district was concerned that the buses would be late from taking high schoolers home, which would push the middle and elementary school schedules even later. So they had high schools release a half hour early (Ryan's in middle school, but it's a single middle/high school so they're on a high school schedule). Ryan is pushing through the end of the school year as best he can, but I can see how exhausting it is. He has two more days of school this week (Thursday and Friday) and then Monday and Tuesday next week and that's it. He needs a rest. He's really earned it. Honestly, all kids and caregivers have earned it this year. I hope this summer is more relaxing and happy and healthy than usual for all.

Significant Update

I wasn't  planning for the story to go this way. I wanted to give more background and build slowly up to the situation we were in when I started the story. But that situation changed last month and now here we are, homeschooling. Yup, there's the titular update. I know you don't know me well, so here are some facts: I was valedictorian of my high school class. I have a degree from an Ivy League college. I have a PhD from one of the top physics departments in the country. I'm not saying all this to brag. I'm saying all this to set up the unlikeliness of someone like me, as close as you can be to a professional student, getting kicked out of elementary school. But that's what happened last week. It's actually for the best. We've all been miserable this year. I've been sick with anxiety since last fall. Stomachaches, heart palpitations, the works. I actually started this blog as a way of dealing with it all. Here's what happened. Let me start with...

DelawareCon (TM) 2019

It is summer! Yes, it is summer and we’ve been hard at work doing the things that working parents who live in an old-ish house do over the summer. We’ve been not going to school (oldest boy skipped the last two days of school due to overexcitabilties), we’ve been graduating from elementary school (that would be the younger boy), we’ve been visiting my family in upstate New York, we’ve been trying to balance work and childcare, and we’ve been seeing Hamilton. You know, the usual. (Obviously, Hamilton was awesome. The tickets were my birthday present from Matt this year.) Also, we’ve been resurfacing the old, ugly, cracked concrete pad where the old, ugly, cracked hot tub used to sit. It is now covered in grey Trex (TM) in an attractive pattern. The wooden deck that abuts the new deck is poop brown, but the colors complement each other. Sort of. We looked at Trex in different browns to try to go closer to the deck color but I could not handle more poop. So much poop. So we went with gr...

Lockdown, the early days

I started this post many weeks ago and didn't post it so I've lost the original date, but it was from the relatively early days of lockdown. Maybe a few weeks in? Here goes: -------------- Probably none of this is interesting, but these are the things I've noticed during lockdown in Spain... I am fine for a while but then I need an open window, thirsty for signs of life. The mornings are quiet. I sleep late most mornings, in part thanks to nightly Benadryl but mostly because I can, so I do. I check my email, Instagram, and Twitter. I'm not much into social media, so none of this takes long. But I will check Twitter continuously during the morning waiting for some piece of information to take away some of the uncertainty, or to distract me for a while. My Twitter feed is slow until early afternoon, when the east coast starts to wake up and activate. Before then it is mostly European updates, sometimes news and sometimes pictures or funny videos or articles. It...
