Happy belated birthday Tom!

Tongue was mostly OK, but I'm thinking I don't like strongly textured meat. I've had much better luck making stew from the grass-fed pork and beef I've gotten. No major symptoms from the shot, just an arm that still a little sore but only when I press on it.

Comfort-ma for those who need it.

Stressful Monday start where Matilda can't log into her Zoom classes.

But JZ's on the phone with the school now, so I hope they can sort this out.

Poor DH is kinda wiped out from his first shot, and super frustrated because he normally goes 100 mph all day. He got up at 6 or so, went and got 7-11 coffee, took out the trash, and maybe did a couple other things, then napped 2 hours. Got up and made himself breakfast and has been chair bound since. He is hating it. I'm able to relax and chill, read, watch tv. He doesn't know how to do that.

ION, I made super tasty soup in my quest to keep my fiber and protein numbers up. Started with canned butternut squash soup, added curry powder, lime juice, chickpeas, and avocado and stick blended it all. So yum. I do love soup.

Ugh, that is stressful. I hope it's been resolved. We accidentally had a bluetooth crossover this morning. DP rarely uses the headphones, but he did for a call this morning, but neither of us disconnected my computer from them, so we had some momentary confusion when I started my call halfway through his. But, easy enough to fix.

JenP, I find "powder room" so charming. Glad your neighbors are nice!

Hee, I do, too, -t! And thanks!

It would be hard to overstate how little I want to work today.

Saaaaame. Luckily, I puttered my way through the morning OK and have an afternoon full of meetings, so I'm sort of off the hook. Although I should get one thing going that I avoided doing on Friday!

If anyone is wondering, the price changes that were supposed to take effect on Thursday have not, in fact, all gone according to plan. So surprising.

Ugh, that is stressful. I hope it's been resolved.

JZ was able to heroically go through the school district website to find the Digital Resources phone number, and they got an IT guy to walk them through it. Zoom had been updated, and for some reason, didn't like her profile, so they had to tweak something that was completely non-intuitive but now it's up and running again.

Laura let me know if you want the info of my Spanish teacher—I do Skype classes with teachers in Colombia (had one who recently moved to the US to be an au pair, now have a different one). They taught at the language school I went to there, so know teaching, not just “I speak it so surely I can teach it”. It’s about $12-13 an hour.

I WANT A ROAD TRIP

That is all.

(Really, though, I have an extremely cute car and I want to drive it, with the roof open under a blue sky, and happy music playing, and the option of questionable choices from food trucks I haven't seen before.)

Thanks, meara. My DIL's mother is a Spanish teacher in Florida Virtual School and my niece up north is a HS Spanish teacher. I have the Rosetta Stone stuff I have started a few times, but get distracted by life. I should see if FL Virtual allows adults in the program. I might stick to it more if I was enrolled. It's 100% a matter of me just doing it.
