I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I got the same reminder, Teppy. I called my doctors office and asked if they wanted me to come in and they were all "GOD no. Please don't come in." They called in a 90 day supply.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just quit doing a chair yoga thing before it was over, but didn't want to leave the Zoom, because that seems rude, and it's still somehow relaxing to listen to this woman talk about breathing deeply even though I'm not participating???

Now tagless for your comfort.

This sounds like Cashmere's older brother's day off ... although he managed to cover up the issue well enough.

Oh, the tales we could tell.

I am reminded that each teacher handles the e-learning experience differently, as does each student. I am trying to make adjustments both in expectations and process to meet their needs.

And I am thoroughly sick of doing DISHES.

Today I am at work, helping people get books over the phone, which is awesome! I missed this part!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You've converted your yoga into meditation.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That might still count as yoga?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, not while reading websites??

Whatever, I got 25 minutes of mostly focusing on it. That's not nothing!

Yup, 25 minutes is good!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My teen has been productive but I never seen her until around noon.

Same here. The 7th grader in my house is the sole early riser (he wakes up at like 5:30 without an alarm) and has usually eaten breakfast and gone back to his room before anyone else is up and about. He's getting his work done, though so I'm not complaining!

I'm incredibly grateful to the director of our local community theater who pivoted on a dime when we went into lockdown the week before Puffs rehearsals were due to start and began working with the Company to create a devised theater piece instead. They've been meeting weekly over Zoom and will be performing this weekend over a private Facebook live channel. Our schools only started holding virtual synchronous classes this week, so these rehearsals have really helped tremendously to keep him connected to his classmates.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was reading about a Quaker meeting that was having online/Zoom meetings and one person asked another if they were meditating or if their computer froze up.
