- Thu, 13:15: Home cuddling with Iliana who did so well at her appointment. We're feeling very lucky and relieved that her dental work is done. Whew!
- Thu, 14:02: Now I can get back to the important things, like deciding which day I want to go to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet when I'm back home.
- Thu, 14:13: Ian is being so tender and gentle and wonderful with his sweet little one and I am all melty and swoony and dear god I love that man.
- Thu, 14:14: He also brought me fizzy water while she was sleeping on me and I was trapped and sweaty, so that's even more swoon.
- Thu, 14:17: Also we just confirmed that we had the exact amount of $ left in our flex plan account to cover Iliana's dental work - $1500.
- Thu, 14:19: Between that and reimbursements for Ian's travel expenses while he was on the National Science Foundation grant panel, what a relief.
- Thu, 14:20: We'll actually be able to afford exciting things like food while we're on our much anticipated trip back home!
- Thu, 18:22: Recipe name is baked mahi mahi. Method says sautée. I don't care either way because u don't throw pineapple on whatever & call it Hawaiian.
- Thu, 18:24: Translation: congratulations on your shitty recipe also being completely ignorant of actual Hawaiian food! Ten dumbass points, you!
- Thu, 18:25: Also, there is a delightful difference between Hawaii food and Hawaiian food. Hawaiian food is food of actual traditional Hawaiians.

I'm a good jobber!
May. 29th, 2015 12:47 pmI only have about five minutes before I have to get Iliana from preschool, but I wanted to put a pin in today and celebrate pretty much life.
I have been making so many strides in therapy and have been feeling really good about myself. Well, right this second I'm feeling tired and gross thanks to somebody's child waking up too early and allergy season *hachoo!* but in general everything is falling into place.
Jonas' therapy sessions are productive and positive, even though they are overwhelming for him. (I get that. Therapy, ugh.) Iliana had massive dental work yesterday which you might have seen in my twitter feed, and it was an enormously positive experience. I'm not partying, of course, that Jonas has Autism and Iliana needed so much dental work, but I am partying because I was able to make good decisions with good information that I had at the time, and I am wildly blessed and privileged enough to be in a place in my life that I can provide this care to my children. We are all taken care of. Hooray!
I am going back home for a week next month and that is an enormous weight off my homesick shoulders. I will be doing a lot of things that I want to do, and a lot of things that I need to do, like seeing Dad and Kupuna at the cemetery. We'll be talking to someone at the cemetery to see about having Mom's ashes placed nearby. It's emotional, sure, but it feels really good. As good as this can feel, anyway.
AND I WILL TAKE IT.
ALL.
