NoJoMo4
Today’s prompt is “make a bulleted list of your day”. I just can’t bore you all with the details of my routine when I am so bogged down with anxiety about election results. I’m in despair, I real...
NoJoMo 3
I’m going to go ahead and get back on track. Might as well! Do you feel anonymous online? Why or why not? Haha not really. Maybe I did in the beginning, and I still try to maintain some level o...
NoJoMo 2
Yes, it’s late. I told you I’m bad at these things. Plus 11/2 is never a fun day for me, it’s the anniversary of my dad’s death…so anyway, here’s this: What are your top five (5) favorite movie...
NoJoMo 1
What are three (3) things you would do if you weren’t afraid? I don’t think of myself as a terribly frightful person, but there are a few things that scare the ever-living crap out of me. I don’...
NoJoMo prompts
I’ve never successfully completed either NoJoMo or NaNoWriMo, but I’m going to try this year. I shamelessly stole this list of prompts from KissOfLife! 1) What are three (3) things you would do ...
Preparing for the apocalypse
I grew up in Miami, which means for the most part tropical weather doesn’t scare me. It’s just rain and wind, and not even that much of either before it gets up here to North Georgia - but Hurri...
Still October
Sophie is going back to physical school on Monday. She prepped her backpack today, and is very excited. I am also very excited, she hasn’t been out of the house unless she went somewhere with m...
Food Survey
What’s the last thing you ate? Peanut butter M&Ms What’s your favourite cheese? Brie, especially with really good bread What’s your favourite fish? I’m not a big fan of fish. I do love sushi...
Wednesday
If I have to quit my job to sit on my 13 year old to make her do her schoolwork, I am going to be REALLY FUCKING ANGRY. Oh wait, I’m already pretty mad. Last week, I started getting emails fr...
School etc.
It’s supposed to be DragonCon weekend, so I’m having a sad. I did see that some people on the DragonCon Reddit were proposing a pub crawl downtown, but I think that’s a spectacularly bad idea an...
Frustrated
Online school is a series of exercises in frustration. I feel like I can’t complain anywhere but here - every time I say something people are like, “We have to support the teachers!” and “The sy...
Mundanity
My work schedule has changed. Instead of working two full days and two half days, I’m going to work three full days for the forseeable future - Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 10-6. I’m ...
Not surprising
Online school, day one: school district website crashes as all high school students log in for their first class at 8am. Sigh.
13
I’m officially the parent of two teenagers now. Good lord. We celebrated last night, or at least we tried to - she wanted sushi for dinner, so I ordered Uber Eats and the delivery person dropped...
Dogs in recovery
Two of our four weren’t spayed, so we remedied that last week. They had the surgery on Friday, I questioned the wisdom of doing them at the same time but it needed done and we figured we might as...
Ugh
I’m an insecure weirdo. If I’m not being given attaboys on a fairly consistent basis, I automatically assume something is wrong and something dire is about to happen. This affects me in multiple...
Virtual School
I was really not excited when our county’s school board made the decision to go all virtual last week. We’ve done virtual school before - my kids were enrolled in a virtual school for the 2018-1...
Never mind
Our county announced today that schools will be fully online for the foreseeable future. So much for all my agonizing! I just how they have spent the summer getting organized so it will be bett...
Tired
That’s how I feel. Just…tired. We got back from Florida last Monday, I went to work on Tuesday and Wednesday and Friday and Saturday and Monday and Tuesday and then again today. I’m beyond happ...
Houses & memories
We got back from Florida today. I really wanted to write while I was there, but I had little to no time alone and also I didn’t take my laptop and didn’t feel up to typing an entry on my phone. ...
"New Normal"
I hate that phrase so damn much. I keep coming here intending to write, but then I read and I note and I log out and forget to say anything. Forgive me if I’m repeating myself, I’m not motivated...
Adventures in Dementia
Today my sister sat in on a telemedicine zoom call between our mother and her doctor. It turned out to be…interesting. First, Mom told the doctor she had just signed up for a trip. When he aske...
14
Tomorrow my son is turning 14. He gave me permission to post a baby picture on Facebook (“But none on Instagram, Mom! You have to promise!”), so I was looking through old pictures tonight and I...
2020 is canceled.
I was supposed to go to two concerts this summer: Barenaked Ladies/Gin Blossoms/Toad the Wet Sprocket in June and the Hella Mega Tour (Green Day/Fallout Boy/Weezer) in August. As of this week, b...
Tired
The library opened for curbside service on Monday. Actually we spent Monday getting organized - we pulled about 700 books for approximately 200 customers, bagged them, and called each customer t...
