It really sucks when everything happens at once. I'm sorry about your grandmother.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, Jessica, that is a week. I'm sorry about your grandmother, and everything. Your tag makes me grin, though!

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences, Jessica and family. It's terrible when it all comes at you at once.

I'm sorry, Jessica. That sounds stressful on so many levels.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, Jess, that is a lot all at once. And complicated. Get-through-it-okay~ma.
Dear self, you know you can't go from regular coffee to decaf without tapering. You know this. Why did you do it?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Aw, man, Jess, that is A LOT. No wonder you're feeling whelmed. Best of all possible outcomes-ma. And sorry for your loss.

Jessica that all sounds so tiring and hard. I'm sorry for your loss. Is there a way for your kids to go to Eaglefest without you and Ethan? Could someone else take them?

In a separate post: January was like being buried alive by poo. February is shaping up no better though. I'm trying to get my students registered for ACTs and SATs and most are just confused about the process. I have to do this required testing thing with them but I won't be here to get it done and no one else is offering to help. So I wrote super detailed plans for the sub, including my login and password. Awesome?
Grace's eye surgery recovery is about 10x slower than anticipated. She also has decided she's an adolescent now and is ragey and awful about the pain. This weekend I have to go to Ohio for my dad's memorial. The obit failed to mention that Katie is my wife, which is chapping my ass. I'll have to see the cousin I unfriend over politics in the 2012 election because she was a racist and my brother who I am still angry with for having voted for Gary Johnson. If I look at this weekend straight on, I feel like I'm facing a gorgon.
I was also evaluated this week which is everyone's favorite feeling. And my desk is a disaster. And grades are due but I haven't graded all the things yet.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Jess. So much, all at once. What Kat said about someone else taking the kids. That might help.

{{Kat}} Way too much.
Universe, try and be a bit better about spacing this awfulness out, or just don't.
