For me, DS17 has a Zoom with his Pediatrician and in-person with Chiropractor. I hope and pray he can get up for these. I am helping a friend move some chairs with my van and she is taking me to Mexican lunch.

I have it here for keeping track. If I get to it, I get to it. If I don't, I don't.

I love this philosophy. These lists are for us, no one else. Sometimes real life gets in the way and we just pull ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start again.
