my random ramblingsan infrequent (and these days, mostly Mira related…) blog

daily routine broken up by the Blue Angels. great views from the balcony, and fortunate to get 2 separate flyovers.

early trip out to pick up flowers and bfast. Mira had an early Zoom gymnastics class, then spent the day hanging out at home. taught Mira how to play Texas hold ‘em, and it quickly became her new favorite. was nice to finally catch some fights last night.

usual routine of exercising at home, eating at home, and board games at home. quick stop in the park for a couple games of croquet with the girls, but got chased home by a little rain.

gymnastics late morning, then a meeting with Mira’s teacher in the afternoon. upside to the world being on lockdown is both Mira and Лена get to take daily private classes from coaches in Russia and Ukraine that are both better and cheaper than the options here. take out from Alinea, which was great!

Mira got us up early, excited to find eggs and open presents. big hunt throughout the entire house, then onto some games. again, feels a little empty without dressing up for a nice meal out.

endless Zoom meetings in the house. ideal having a Murphy bed in the extra bedroom, as it’s now become the dedicated exercise room.

adapting well to the new routine. “school” in the morning/early afternoon, exercising during the day/early evening, and wrapping up with board games and/or card games until bedtime. first warm day today in a while, and out in the park playing soccer.

up way too early, as usual when Mira’s excited… fun morning full of presents and (homemade tie-dye) cake, then the rest of the day spent opening toys and playing. end of the first full week at home, so no chance for the requisite celebratory dinner out.

lost an hour of sleep due to the time change… flowers and a couple of small presents for IWD, then off to ballet and art. chill night at home.

early gymnastics, then home to change for a piggy themed 1/2 birthday party. enjoyed the fight card at home before bed.
