Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Much brother ma to you, amyparker. It was also harder than expected to get your name to not be in Title Case.

It sounds like little tea cup has qualities that make a trying child, but is going to be a great adult. Curiosity and a willingness to speak ones mind. Probably doesn't help now, though! I am pretty grateful that I didn't become a mother. I would have been terrible at it

ltc is going back to school today. I feel like I should go out because I've felt so trapped in the house, but I'm also tired.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe rest a little and then go out?

Not really enough time to do both. She's only in school a few hours. I'm going to go home I think I'm very sleepy.

I am not a parent, but I'm pretty sure all the advice says that in any choice between sleep or something else, always choose sleep.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

sj, sleep.

Calli, can you take a half day? Really, it's Monday, everyone go back to bed.

Our wings are not tired.

Truth. Sleep is always a good choice, particularly when you need to keep your immunity at peak performance.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am so glad it's a short work week.

Tim's a little nervous because he has his 1-year performance review today, and he knows he's slow to complete some tasks and he assumes he'll be dinged for that. I told him if that's addressed in his review, that's a good opportunity to ask for help/suggestions for how to improve in that area. That's the whole point of having a manager. So, fingers crossed his review is basically okay. (This was a stressed-out weekend regarding our jobs at ol' Stately Beckmeyer Manor. We are not chill people.)

I'm home. I've cleaned out the fridges and freezers for trash day, ran a clean cycle on the washing machine, and now I'm laying down. I had a banana for breakfast because the little oatmeal cups I bought myself are nowhere to be found.

I was able to reschedule the parent teacher conference for Wednesday, but I already have her evaluation. You'll all be shocked to know she got the highest marks in self confidence.
