Still teaching two night classes- so our schedule has been crazy.
It's weird. So many days are the same- work, home, homework, bed. Work, home, homework, bed. It's hard to see how fast Nico is growing. He's really smart, but doesn't like to put in work on stuff that doesn't interest him.
He can be sweet sometimes.
Drake is getting up there. Unfortunately, I think he is starting the long slide down. He has good days, but he also has bad ones. Ones, where he doesn't eat and has a hard time getting up the stairs. I catch glimpses of his old self, the needy one that just wants attention. He has stopped sleeping in our bed, for the most part. I think he doesn't like being jostled in his sleep. He mostly sleeps in the bathroom now, which seems really uncomfortable. Sometimes he will come sleep in the big bed in the morning, just before we all wake up.
In February, I competed in the Women's Raw Powerlifting meet at B&W gym. It was an awful meet- I got red lights on two of my squats, one of my benches, and one of my deadlifts. I had heard that it was a thing in this particular association to be overly tough on lifts- this was confirmed in my experience. I ended up taking second in my weight class. Not bad, but I am done lifting seriously for a while.
Nico played two seasons of indoor at Quad sports this winter. He basically loved it- I mean, what is not to like?
Yeah.
We saw a club team play at Quad during the winter that was intriguing. They had decent skill, but also not unreasonable in terms of coaches/parents being out of control. The club is based in Evanston, which is intriguing to us- because its close. Much closer than some of the more affordable options. In any case, we're exploring these options this spring/summer, to figure out what we want the next step to look like.
