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 bet. I hope you can some joy in it.

Timelies all!

Weather permitting, we're planning to head over to a local 4th of July celebration after dinner.

We had lobsters tonight which was really hard to do without Papa. Tomorrow TCG and I are going to see Black Phone and out to a gastropub type place for dinner. TCG couldn’t go out and buy me stuff when we were quarantining. So, he’s pretty much just buying me whatever I point at this weekend.

Our wings are not tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, sj! I hope your family is taking care of you this weekend.

Happy Birthday SJ.

Glad DH is doing better Laura.

I've been at work for 2.5 hours and I've had to clock out and call Matthew ..or actually his mom since Matthew probably had his phone in the other room and charging.

I covered at online pick up and it was a lot. And I started feeling bad and I'm clocked out and waiting for Matthew and his mom to get here so he can drive me home.

So that sucks.

Happy birthday, sj!!!

I'm sorry, askye. That sucks. I wish you could find another job. I feel like you'd be great at online customer support.

Happy birthday sj!

Had some major thunderstorms last night, so we didn't see any fireworks. Could hear some from our house, but it was still raining hard, is I don't know how that worked.

Thrive to spite them

lisah I think right now anything I do would be really hard and exhausting. I only had to deal with maybe 6 customers but they all kind of came at once and trying to go through all the steps was draining. Plus before that I had been working on organizing some racks that was mentally fatiguing as well.

I do want to look at something different but right now I need to just do what I can while my brain is healing.

I'm pretty sure right after the concussion at work I forced myself through worse feelings but I'm trying not to push myself too hard. I know I need to but not too hard. Today I did take a break and I felt better but as soon as I was trying to do stuff it just went down hill again. It started to feel more like disassociation and I've learned when that happens and I can't stay focused all it's time to stop.
