And so, there are few things harder than being stucj at home with a toddler. I'm sorry. If I were closer, I would be happy to come help.

Ugh, Tom. It does seem to be a pattern that at least a few successful predators use. They spout the right language and ingratiate themselves with women, and women lower their guard.

Reading that thread at Jezebel, this comment stuck out to me:

I've been in that situation before with more than one woke dude, and it definitely goes way deeper than simple immaturity. There's a performative aspect to it, where it's not about actually being woke so much as it's about making sure everyone around them knows just how enlightened they actually are.

That could have been any one of the tweets about P-C that I've seen.

Am very exhausted. Last night I realized that I had "social" stuff everyday this week and this will continue through Monday. I can't believe I let myself be blindsided by this.

This article seems sadly relevant.

Since woke misogyny can come with a hefty dose of gaslighting, it's difficult to tell whether it's calculated or not.

Right? It's now become a tripwire for me.

So... At a meeting for house coordinators, bosslady asked me to show everybody my bullet journal, because other people are forgetting things and losing track of things and I am so on top of stuff. I was happy to share. That bullet journal really does help me a lot. Thank you, Hil, and other bullet journaling Buffistas for pointing the way.

Later in the day, I was 25 minutes late for a training session via Skype because I spaced out about it.

Yup.

Yup indeed.

I've been using my bullet journal since February. I'm not sure if it's making me more organized, but it is helping me track where my reach is exceeding my grasp. I've been putting in aspirational "to-do"s and hitting about 1 in 3, and that's helping me see what I'm choosing as a priority, as opposed to what I think I want to do. It let me track when I was sick and realize that, no, it didn't just feel like it had been going on forever, I really had been sick for four weeks, and I probably needed to see someone about that. And it's satisfying to check things off. So I'll probably keep on with it for at least a while longer.

Trying to prepare myself to go to the library, and for the fact that Roberta will no longer be there. This sucks.
