Oh dear, flea. Best laid plans and all that. Donuts sounds like an appropriate response.

That’s unfortunate flea! But glad they were able to rebook? And now I want doughnuts.

(Actually what I want is for work to feel less overwhelming—I’m taking over a new project snd it’s in bad shape and I can’t fix it all right now right now but ahhh it needs to be fixed eventually and it’s So Much Stuff)

Also my lower back has been hurting a lot and it makes me feel incredibly old.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Javachik!

Mr. S's school year ends Wed. I think that, overall, it went pretty well. He'll be back there for 1st grade.

I'm so glad Matilda's wisdom tooth extraction went smoothly. Seeing her and Emmett together was a nice part of that day.

Work had been...adjustments to the new manager and then corporate decided to make changes to portable phones.

They took them all. The managers, etc all have to use Jabber on the scanners. And it's down half the time since this has started. Trying to contact anyone is a nuisance. Also the announcements are now super quiet and muffled so you have to really strain to hear it.

Dad is coming up tomorrow to be here for my birthday which is Wed. Also getting my haircut tomorrow. Dad is staying with mom since we don't have room here but he'll visit here and stuff.

Still have no idea what I'm actually going to do for my birthday.

I'm feeling weird about turning 48. A lot of mixed feelings about stuff about my life and just tired of settling and being so worried about not being good enough. So I'm working on making changes and I don't know how I'm going to do it all but I will.

Changes are good, Askye, if you're the one making them, for you and what you want.

Wow. Ghost town on the board today. I can hear the wind whistle down the empty streets...

I got up early this morning because Brendon was up early. Figured I would take a walk before the sun came up. Ha! It is just too humid and hot. Not happening. I did dead head the flowers and got soaked with sweat. He got up to go do some stuff at an office before they got in and is now trying to do all the things before he gets his hand surgery. I've tried to make it clear that I can help him with whatever, or if it takes muscle one of the b-ball kids can do it. Still, he only has two modes, in motion or asleep. I predict a lot of naps in the near future. He is super concerned about going under, which understandable since he never has before. I can only drop him off then pick him up again in 2-1/2 hours since they are still under Covid restrictions.

I thought I had a therapy appointment today . I got a reminder but no email for the telehealth link ND no response to my text from my therapist.

Which part of my brain is like...he is ghosting you , he is tired of dealing with you...but the more rational part is hoping he is ok because this isn't like him

Yesterday was very hot and humid; we had serious thunderstorms last night and this morning it was pleasantly cool and less humid. In celebration - for the first time in over a year - I put on LIPSTICK.

I am happy to report that my children successfully got in two planes and flew to Boston and got picked up by their grandmother!

Woot! I hope they have a blast.
