Coding and Sleeping

Rough weekend. I messed things up again and today I just feel like I want to go to sleep and never wake up. I spent about an hour just laying in bed and staring at the ceiling, but I figure I could be miserable and stare at the ceiling or be miserable and get some stuff done. I put away a couple loads of laundry, washed the sheets, did another load, went to the grocery store, built a couple of window frames to replace the rotting ones in the sleeping porch, took care of dishes, put away groceries of course, and cooked some chicken quesedias. Still I feel like the house is getting away from me which isn't helping things. Really need to vacuum and clean the kitchen floor, declutter the kitchen, organize my desk, clean up the garage, among other things. Going on a trip this weekend and need to do some work on my Wife's car weekend after, brake pads and oil change, so it's going to be hard to catch up. Also feeling burned out at work, but honestly it's home life that's harder than work life right now.

I went to a soccer game, which was fun, and the weather was unexpectedly lovely (it said rain but was sunny) but even though I put on sunscreen I can already feel less than six hours later, it was not enough sunscreen. Oops.

So your wife still isn't doing any of the housework, just yelling at you when you don't do it to her satisfaction?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

lemon on the Seder plate, symbolizes the hostages. Other than the color, "missing an opportunity" and sourness are a wordplay in Hebrew.

Oh, this is lovely. (We had an early Seder last night because tonight is the performance/award ceremony for Dylan's play*.) OTOH, the modern/social justice Seder plate is already hella crowded - alongside the traditional elements we add the orange (feminism), tomato (farmworkers/modern slavery), and potato (hunger/poverty).

*I've bragged about this on FB, but my son Dylan is an award-winning playwright! Why a NYC metro area theater would choose the first night of Passover to hold the celebration baffles me, but here we are.

That is awesome!

It's not like that. The old house used to get out of hand at times and it made her feel like a failure, so I'm making an extra effort to keep the new house nice. She cleans up after the dogs in the back yard and does the dishes sometimes.

But Jesus Christ, he's only 26. This is some rough news.
That's awful. Cancer really sucks.

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

So impressive, Jessica!

Impressive, Jess! Or I guess, impressive Dylan!

Gud that doesn’t seem like an equal share. Maybe consider your daughter’s words from recently, about how she sees your relationship with your wife?
