Alexandria, VA (USA)

[kids up early - I made breakfast (French Toast, sausage) at their request - Mollie finished another CCD test and I printed the next one for her - Brenna continued working on her financial aid application (she needed my help) - I cleaned up the apartment and Mollie packed to go home - we drove to Nicky's house and dropped I Mollie off - we also switched out the cars so Brenna could practice her driving again - we also dropped off Erin's clothes and Valentine's Day gift - Mollie introduced me to their dog, Bear - Brenna and I practiced driving for a while and then we went back to my apartment - we then worked on the FAFSA form again together - lunch (meatloaf, potatoes, salad); Brenna did her homework at my house until it was time for Mass; I called Mollie, to see if she wanted to go with is (she didn't) - when Nicky called me, I offered to meet Erin at my apartment and help her at 1815 - Brenna and I practiced driving some more and went to Mass (St. Bernadette) - we waited at my apartment until it was clear that Nicky was not coming to my house with Erin - I packed up the rest of the kids' stuff and dropped Brenna off at her mother's house, along with Valentine's Day balloon and cake (1830) - throughout the rest of the night, I helped Brenna with FAFSA paperwork - I was a bit sad that the streak of 10 days with the kids ended... - but I got a text from my friends and ended up I driving to meet them at O'Connell's Irish Pub in Old Town (1915) - apparently, they had been there for hours, celebrating "Galentines Day) with live music - we had good food but I didn't drink much, since they kept talking about leaving - when I learned that Kelly didn't have a ride home, I offered to drive her back to Woodbridge - we made good time but the snow started just as we were getting there - we ended up watching episodes of a Netflix series and stayed up late - didn't go home, due to the snow]
