"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Glad for you, Lee.

I submitted my NBPTS renewal portfolio today. It's not due until the 31st, but I had to get it done. I started it in earnest last Monday and then I was like FINISH THIS NOW. I was worried and angsty about the videos, but K helped me transfer them. I did the writing, she helped with the revision and now all of those anxiety dreams about this? FINISHED.

And I also finished a work thing on Friday.

So, I have two more big things to figure out then I can relax.

I'm not enjoying the 100 degree weather, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Opera Red is a great colour! Almost as good as my Jet...yeah, I really need to let that go.

The non-valley side of the weather was great--yesterday was perfect sundress and convertible weather. Today I only darted out early since I got to the last ingredient and found out that I only had instant cook oats, and this recipe of cookie is best with 2:1 old fashioned. CRISIS.

all of those anxiety dreams about this? FINISHED.

Hip hip!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Liese, at the big team garage sale this weekend, I had taken a couple of pictures and the kids asked me to post them to facebook and tag them. I had to remind them that I'm not friended with them and was then asked why not. I told them that I don't friend request my son's friends, but if they want to friend me, that is fine. They gave me a weird look and friended me anyway. I just feel more comfortable that way.

Friend is now a meaningless word.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I start my new job tomorrow. Outfit has been chosen and now I just need to GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yay Scrappy!

Me, I'm at the er with Dad because mom fell out of the wheelchair for the second time in four days. I hope I don't have any meetings scheduled for tomorrow...

I wish I'd worn shoes & socks instead of flip flops. Hospitals are chilly.

Just waiting for tests, now. She seems fine, or fine as she ever is, but I'm not a doctor.

I hope I don't have any meetings scheduled for today...

FWIW, you CAN wear loose socks with flipflops, if you indent the sock toe between your toes. So you might slide by the gift shop and see if they have any?

As for meetings -- this is for the job you're leaving? Parental sick time trumps it....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope your mom's ok, Consuela.

Woo new job scrappy!!

Frank, look at the bright side -- with your stuff in storage, you'll only have to pack it ONCE. And yeah, it will give you time to look carefully for something closer than Amesbury.

If you want to do anything like a packing party, let me know. I'm jobfree so have the time....

And yay for scrappy's first day!
