Successful BBQ Weekend

Went to Modesto with the family + Lyla. Went really well. I think I was most anxious the day before we left to Modesto. That Friday, I think I was feeling the anticipatory anxiety I get before a big social weekend.

We left San Jose around 9 am; the Starbucks we stopped by was really crowded, but I had no anxiety. The drive was little to no anxiety. I did feel a little anxiety when it was just me and Lyla taking care of the babies, but I think that's normal because Spencie was crying out for his mommy.


Sunday was exhausting. We woke up early to go to church, then had lunch at Chili's. Then we played poker all afternoon (where and Lyla won $24 combined off the family). Then we had dinner at Chevy's. Then I drove back to San Jose after pumping myself up with diet pepsi. When we got there, me and Lyla had to move a couch, a mattress and some other things to the sidewalk for annual clean-up. I almost got grumpy but I think I maintained my cool pretty well.

All-in-all, I'd say it was a great step in the right direction.
