Kids, help your mom! Not cool.

Suzi, glad the intro went well. Hope all the attention wears Jack out to tired and happy.

I grumbled at older kid so he took over my technical chores so I could get off the computer.

Younger kid is going to the store to replace the cranberry juice I had purchased for punch for tomorrow that was consumed by his brother overnight. Like 3 quarts! Then he lay moaning on the couch about a belly ache until 11 this morning!! Kids!

And with that I depart for my kitchen.

billytea alert! The Sydney zoo has some newborn puggles.

Hope all the attention wears Jack out to tired and happy.

Thanks. I think the fact that the Prozac is apt to make him a bit more lethargic is a good thing right now.

Today's to-do list - homework (why am I not on T-Day break),physical therapy, make 2 pumpkin pies, make a bunch of deviled eggs, and finally a 90 minute massage.

A 90 minute massage sounds AMAZING. Damn.

I am at my coworking space. Because I actually have work to do and was hoping this would help maybe. My to do includes getting work done, buying food, potentially making pie, and then going and playing games and getting drunk with friends...

I'm home from work. A benefit of early mornings and short days. Lots of customers today. I need to get better about juggling helping them and doing my stuff.

My unclemail emailed me...said he was disappointed I'd believe lies about Bannon. I didn't say what I wanted which is...I'm not surprised you'd believe lies about Hillary and I've been disappointed in you since I found out when you were a minister you had at least one affair with a parshioner.

I can understand the temptation of that reply for sure, askye.

I am so ready to be done with this day. And with this job, honestly, but I have to find another one, first. I'm doing my best to manage my anxiety and maximize my productivity, but it is really hard when I'm all alone. My boss is doing his best to support me, but it's one of those things where I have to learn by screwing up over and over again. Everything he thinks should be obvious to me isn't, and then he tells me stuff repeatedly that I already know. Trying to find my zen with it all.

Frankie update - I've been treating him the first time he pees when we go out, and he hadn't had an accident in days… until last night. I took him out and all he wanted to do was (white font for gross) eat cat poop , so I gave up, took him back inside, and got in the shower. When I got out he had peed. Don't know if he peed because I was mad at him or because he was mad at me.

And now he's called me intellectually dishonest and moved goal posts I didn't realize exist and has refused to answer my questions. I'm deleting all further emails.

smonster I hope you can find a job that is good for you.

Frankie - you need to stop eating that and also stop peeing inside the house!

Fortunately none of my family for friends have engaged me directly since the election. I think they might have a clue that I will hit with all barrels blasting. There would be no holding back.

{{smonster}} Poor you and Frankie. I wish I had solutions.

Due to work policies about leaving early before holidays and tech support not getting to use that on the actual day but later, I'm out of here in ten minutes. So I will stop by the grocery store, then toodle on home to live in my robe for the next 36 hours.
