Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Ugh, meara definitely not a great start to the day.

ltc insisted on going to school today. So, she’s there but both her and her teacher are aware that I will come get her anytime it gets to be too much. TCG offered to stay home with me today, but I sent him to work. I haven’t slept much the last couple weeks worrying and I’m just going to rest today. He’ll come home at lunch to make sure I remember to eat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

sj, I'm so sorry. Quiet time to yourself sounds just right today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ION, in her second to last game of the season (where her team is winless), Matilda hit a home run! Drilled it over the centerfielder's head. The other team's coach inquired if she would be interested in a summer tournament team, but she can't because she's working all summer.

It's been frustrating for her this year because all of her teammates missed two years of games, practice and development and the pitching especially has been walking so many players they lose just on that. (Though the senior pitchers have put in much extra practice on their own, but there's only so much you can do after two years of nothing.)

Anyway, as a Sophomore she's already in a position of leadership on the team. But unfortunately most of her teammates are graduating Seniors so they'll have to start anew next year, and might have trouble getting 9 girls who will play. Hopefully we get a good crop of Freshman who played in Middle School (as Matilda did).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Matilda hit a home run! Drilled it over the centerfielder's head.

So satisfying!

Yay Matilda! But that does sound annoying.

Work is making me crazy today. It was already a lot but then (a) someone didn’t tel me important info and now o have a shit ton of paperwork to do to explain why we didn’t do things the way we were supposed to because I didn’t know we had to do it that way, and (b) some peoples emails just aren’t showing up for me. Not in spam, just…never coming through. Important emails. Wtf.

(Add in that I didn’t get enough sleep and that this country seems to be going to hell in a handmaid’s basket, and I am really feeling like screaming and like the massage I’m signed up for later is not going to be as helpful as I need!)
