Where/how are you taking the courses, Theo?
At lunch I got a quick sandwich & ginger ale and sat out in the sun, which helped some.
That's a good thing.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no, msbelle! I'm so sorry.

Jesus, msbelle, that's unfair. And complete asshattery.
ANd then I got a you have been in a mood for 3 weeks what is the deal talk.
'You owe me $40 and a half day that's what." And next time anyone tries to stop you leaving "family obligation" is true-you are family too and you need to make sure you are taken care of. Too often, we all will give non-nego for kids' stuff, but somehow not for us. I wish my bosses on everyone-they believe self care and cannot-deal-meltdown days are legit unplanned sick leave.
And of course, today was one of those days I should have indulged (I was really uncomfortable and it made me snappy) but because there was shit I wanted done so I can forget it, I was in. Broke even, I guess.

Oh msbelle, your bosses do suck. I'm sorry.
My poor wee girl had an epic melt down before bed tonight. Not sure why. Maybe its the anticipation of culmination?

There was stuff I hadn't done he had asked me to do, but then other things were asked to do and other things and then the normal time deadline things and and and. I am mostly packed now. the dog is at his sitter and I have dropped off the key and written instructions for the cat sitter. mac is packed except for toiletries.
I am sure I am forgetting 10 million things and at least 3 of them are important enough to exasperate someone. That will be my tombstone, she was exasperating, when she was just a disappointment. bah.
