We are trying to get out and enjoy life when we can - a little difficult because I have such a busy schedule already between work and other responsibilities. This weekend we took my mom and older son wine tasting, and went to a movie (Crazy Rich Asians which I had been expecting to be this hilarious funny movie but was really just a chick flick romance with a couple funny parts). But part of the weekend had to be spent on practical errands and medical research. I'm making sure lots of good sex is part of the equation because that has to be healing, right?
