a weekly log of our everyday life
Cindy got sick…AGAIN… so she was sleeping a lot this past week. She thought working with kids meant she’s developed an immunity of steel, but she’s been getting sick a lot this past school year. She has a theory that her immune system is updating itself…like a software update…. Jake is skeptical. Jake’s been studying […]

Highlights of The Week: 1. Jake got sick. 2. Jake got Cindy sick. (again). 3. We went to a lecture at UCLA by Richard Thaler, a nobelauriate. That’s one of the “perks” of being married to a PhD student– going to lectures for “fun”. But really, we’ve gone to some pretty interesting talks, Q&A’s, and […]

We spent a good deal of this past week in front of screens (TV, phone, video games). It was starting to make us feel lazy and icky, so we tried to do some non-screen time activities together! We started a 1000 piece puzzle together. Jake admits he doesn’t like puzzling that much– partly because his […]

Instead of summarizing our week, we decided to hone in on a special moment we had together. Cindy keeps a memory box filled with trinkets and old journals. And Jake keeps all his old photos on a hard drive. On Friday, as part of our date night, we went through Cindy’s memory box as well […]

In an attempt to prove to Cindy he doesn’t get “man colds”, Jake played off like his flu like it was nbd. It wasn’t until Cindy got sick later this week that she realized just how bad Jake was probably feeling. Jake’s learning to take time to rest when he’s sick. And Cindy’s learning that […]
