Today, My husband was unexpectedly off work (again!), so we took advantage of the opportunity to spend time together. Given that it was a Tuesday, after he got his tires fixed, we went to ride the carousel for free carousel day – thank you, Exxon! – and then went briefly to the zoo to see the sea lions – exhibit was under repair, so no sea lions, but our daughter loved running through the exhibit, nonetheless – and then to the museum of natural science to see some dinosaurs and to be in the air conditioning. Then we had our standard Costco lunch, where my mom and grandma surprisingly joined us, and finally fought the beginning of rush-hour traffic to get home and nap. (At least, the baby and I napped. My husband worked on things outside.)
We had lots of emotions today, but it was such a pleasure to get to do these things with my husband. I am beyond grateful. And I am glad he agreed and was up for the adventure today.
Thank you, God. Please, keep us safe and make us well. Guide us financially, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
