Out of the office and Hazel and I headed out to the dog park. It was super cold but there were like 20 dogs there. Hazel stayed close and safe and had one mean dog bark in her face as she sat between my legs. When the grumpy dog left she played a bit with some nice dogs and after about an hour we headed to Wendy's to get her a frosty. Home and we had our snack, no bath today everything was frozen so no mud. We had our snack and then I dug in to seeing how to help J with his grades.

We dropped off some stuff for Boosters, dropped off the care package at the hospital and then on to Reynoldsburg to pick up some auction wins. Our next stop was Hazel's favorite, the dog park where she ran her brains out and her underside was covered in ice balls. She had a great time and is getting the gist of interacting with other dogs. We swung through Wendy's on the way home so Hazel could see J and get a frosty. Home and L gave Hazel a warm rinse to clean her up a bit.

I headed out of the office a bit early to go see G's basketball game with L and J ran to pick up some things he had left at a friends house. L&I got to Pickerington and sat far from the other team tonight... It was a good game but our boys seemed like they just didn't want it as bad as the other team. G had a good game with 11 or 13 points and had an awesome steal he took down the floor for 2. They lost and it means their season is over. L&I headed home and the roads were horrible with hard blowing snow and slow driving. I dropped L off at home and then headed to the school to pick G up. Home and we all ate what L&J made for dinner. L&I watched some tv and I snuck off to bed early exhausted. Fell asleep ok but then woke up at 1:30 and was awake until 4:30 trying to figure out how to get all the things done...

20210201 - Shot is GOOD!
20210201 - Up in the am and L at work and boys on their PCs for school. I got my morning things done and then Hazel and I went to pick up the school food, she did much better this week. Home and put the food away and then I moved in to the office. I finished my day and LJ&I headed to Pickerington to watch G in a tournament game. The boys played great and it was a super close intense game. We had some parents from the other team come and sit a bit too close to us and they were a bit too obnoxious for my liking... Our boys were ahead the entire game and lost in the last 2 minutes... such a heartbreaker! Home and picked up G at the school and then drove through Cane's to get some dinner on the way home. Home and D&DGF13 were here playing with Hazel, who was home alone for 2.5hr for the first time. We all had soem dinner and then hung out a while before the kids left and everyone headed to bed.
